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.

About This Course
You will study Economics, Mathematics and Statistics, providing you with a solid foundation in all three subjects. You will also be given the opportunity to specialise in the latter stages of your degree, for example, in applied economics, advanced statistics, mathematical modelling of complex processes, or developing “Big Data” skills.
Through your study, you will develop skills in data analysis, and be supported in the development of your analytical and problemsolving 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.
First Year
Introduction to Economics • Principles of Microeconomics • Principles of Macroeconomics • Practical Statistics • Statistical Modelling • Calculus • Linear Algebra 1 • Combinatorics & Number Theory • Introduction to Programming • Elective module
Second Year

Assessment
Assessment is through a combination of endof- trimester written examinations, projects and continuous assessment.
Internship Opportunities
In third year, students can apply for an optional paid internship for one trimester in a range of organisations in the public and private sector, which help to inform future career decisions through real-world experience.
Students may apply to study abroad at international partner universities in third year.
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.

BSc Economics, Mathematics & Statistics
Economics, Mathematics and Statistics students develop the analytical and problem-solving skills and knowledge to support and monitor progress towards achieving the Global Goals. Students apply these skills to understanding real economic issues facing society, addressing challenges such as decent work, economic growth, and reducing inequality.
- Quality Education (SDG 4)
- Decent work and economic growth (SDG 8)
- Industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9)
- Reduce Inequalities (SDG 10)
- Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11)
I found economics fascinating at school and wanted to explore it at a deeper level. I also enjoy problem-solving and coding, so when I discovered this combination degree, I knew it was the right choice for me. The statistics modules have been particularly engaging, as many roles that interest me demand data analysis skills. Learning how to use R Studio and analyse large datasets is setting us apart from others. With support from the Maths Support Centre, lecturers who are always willing to listen, study sessions with classmates, and career network’s guidance, university life at UCD has been immensely rewarding.
