Overview

Combine expertise in economics and advanced mathematical techniques to find solutions to real-world situations.

Fascinated by data? Interested in what’s going on in the world around you? This degree combines economics, statistics, and mathematics to prepare you for roles where you’ll apply quantitative techniques to real-world challenges.

The programme is jointly delivered by the School of Economics and Finance and the School of Mathematical Science, so you’ll learn from experts across both fields. Many of our teaching staff also have practical experience and work closely with industry organisations including HM Treasury, the Debt Management Office, and the Bank of England.

Professional recognition

Analyse real-time data

Kick off your studies by exploring key areas in each subject, like macroeconomics and quantitative analysis. Then zone in on statistical methods, modelling and econometrics. With our extensive choice of optional modules, you can also explore hot topics in the sector such as cryptography, generative AI, or big data.

As well as theory, you’ll perfect your practical skills in our Bloomberg trading room. Here you’ll use the same kit used by industry practitioners. All of the skills you learn will be invaluable, whatever field of economics you decide to work in.

Structure

You can complete your Economics, Statistics and Mathematics degree in three, four or five years.

If you choose to spend a year studying abroad or take a year in industry, this will take place in Year 3, and the Year 3 modules will instead be studied in Year 4.

If you are taking an integrated foundation year, this will take place before Year 1.

Study options

Apply for this degree with any of the following options. Take care to use the correct UCAS code - it may not be possible to change your selection later.

Integrated foundation year

International students can apply for our Economics, Statistics and Mathematics BSc with an Integrated Foundation Year. The foundation year, taught on campus by Queen Mary lecturers, prepares you for the rest of the programme and can be started in September.

Year in industry

Develop your business skills and spend a year on placement – apply for our year in industry option. You'll put your understanding of economics, statistics and mathematics into practice in a real-world environment, gaining invaluable experience for your future career.  

Find out more about a year in industry. 

Year abroad

Go global and study abroad as part of your degree – apply for our Economics, Statistics and Mathematics BSc with a Year Abroad. Queen Mary has links with universities in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia (partnerships vary for each degree programme).
