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.
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.
The skills and problem-solving abilities you acquire in this degree are highly prized in a range of professions, 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 Master’s and PhD degrees. Both the School of Economics and the School of Mathematics and Statistics offer Master’s programmes aimed at further developing analytical and professional skills. Postgraduate qualifications are necessary to work as a professional economist.
In order to study Mathematics,we strongly recommend that you have at least a Grade H3 in Leaving Certificate Mathematics, or equivalent.
Please note STAT10050 must be taken in the Autumn trimester.
The Teaching Council requires students considering teaching mathematics to complete the following modules during the course of their programme: MST30050, MST30010, MST30070 and MST30040. MST30050 is a core module for all students in stage 3. MST30010, MST30070 and MST30040 are available as options in both stage 3 and stage 4.
