Curricular information is subject to change.

If you are interested in Mathematics, Statistics and Economics, then this programme enables you to explore these areas in depth, while also emphasising how they complement each other. Economists employ mathematics to design theoretical models and use statistics to test these models and to explore the tremendous amount of data that is generated by the economy. In turn, the models and data that are part of the study of Economics provide an interesting source of applications for students that have learned mathematical and statistical skills.

In turn, the models and data that are part of the study of Economics provide an interesting source of applications for students that have learned mathematical and statistical skills.



Through your study, you will develop skills in data analysis, and be supported in the development of your analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as in the application of these skills to understanding real economic issues. The degree will provide a structured approach to developing skills of analysis, problem design and resolution using mathematics, economic theory, data analysis and statistical methods.



The skills and problem-solving abilities you acquire in this degree are highly prized in a range of professions. The degree prepares students for careers in finance, government, private consultancy firms, teaching and media,and for postgraduate studies that lead to careers in investment, academia, central banks and leadership roles in industry, public and voluntary sectors. 


1 - Approach problems in an analytical, precise and rigorous way
2 - Develop problem solving skills and a capacity to apply these skills in a variety of contexts
3 - Undertake data analysis using statistical and econometric approaches, and use econometric software
4 - Model real-world economic problems in a mathematical framework
5 - Use the power of modern technology to augment mathematical and statistical problem solving
6 - Have a broad awareness of related disciplines and fields of study and understand the impact of economic solutions in a societal and global context
7 - Work independently and as part of a team

Students may apply to study abroad at international partner universities in third year.

UCD is Ireland’s Global University and its largest university with a track record in empowering students to enter a diverse range of careers that reflects the most diverse curriculum on the Island of Ireland. Consistently, over 90% of graduates are employed or in further study or training 9 months following course completion. The QS World Ranking on Graduate Employability has placed UCD at number 1 in Ireland for Graduate Employability since 2018. On the global stage UCD leads the Irish higher education sector and is the only Irish university to be ranked inside the world’s top 80 for Graduate Employability.

At University College Dublin we are aware that for many students, programme outcomes in terms of graduate jobs and career options is important. The purpose of this statement is to help you understand and appreciate the range of skills you may develop during your time at UCD and how you may develop your employability. Visit the UCD Careers Networks website and MyCareer, the UCD Career management Platform, to access career information, internships and graduate roles as well as information about the range of initiatives, supports and events available to you.

This programme supports students’ career development and employability through:
  • Career development initiatives with UCD Careers Network
  • Career and professional development e.g. internships and work placements
  • Cultural awareness, resilience and self-confidence e.g. Study Abroad/ERASMUS
  • Enhancing digital literacy skills
  • Development of critical thinking, problem solving skills and decision-making e.g. through individual and group projects and assignments


The skills and problem-solving abilities you acquire in this degree are highly prized in a range of professions, in both private and public sectors, including banking, finance, accounting, management consultancy, broadcasting, business, journalism, teaching and communications.

Many students pursue graduate study in Economics, Mathematics or Statistics, leading to Masters and PhD degrees. Both the School of Economics and the School of Mathematics and Statistics offer Masters programmes aimed at further developing analytical and professional skills. Postgraduate qualifications are necessary to work as a professional economist.
