Pursuing a degree in Economics and Mathematics at Royal Holloway allows you to be taught by world-class academics at two of the UK's premier teaching and research institutions. Modern economic analysis increasingly depends on mathematical principles, and this dual degree merges the essential curricula of both disciplines. Calculus helps identify optimal individual choices, while difference and differential equations examine economic dynamics, and topological concepts underpin key welfare economics findings. Sophisticated mathematical techniques and computational methods are crucial for businesses developing strategic plans. This program equips students with both specialized knowledge and versatile skills for careers in finance or business sectors.
Throughout your coursework, you'll examine individual and market behavior analysis, with elective options spanning financial economics, industrial economics, and other specialized areas. You'll develop data analysis capabilities while mastering core mathematical concepts ranging from calculus to probability theory, statistical methods, graph theory, optimization techniques, and financial mathematics. Choosing the optional business placement year enables you to bridge academic theory with real-world application.
Our balanced emphasis on both research and teaching ensures exceptional instruction from field experts, contemporary learning resources, and stimulating intellectual discussions. The curriculum features a logically structured, progressive framework while maintaining adaptable study approaches.
