Overview

Key facts:

It equips students with quantitative reasoning skills and the ability to effectively communicate in the languages of mathematics, economics, and social science. This interdisciplinary degree is suited to students who seek the option of taking quantitatively oriented jobs in the finance industry or who intend to pursue postgraduate studies in applied mathematics, economics, business, or related areas such as operations research or management science.
Due to their complexity and technical features, solving contemporary economic problems requires a synergy of mathematics and economics. The program offers an advantage to students who would otherwise major in mathematics or economics alone. We aim to provide advanced mathematics and economics courses that equip students with a strong quantitative background in economics and related areas of management and finance, thus preparing them for successful careers in banking and finance or further studies at graduate school.
Students can apply for the Mathematics and Economics Program through direct choice in HKUST, or apply for transfer into MAEC from the Science (Group A) Program or any Business School programs at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology after their first year of study. Students interested in MAEC Program are encouraged to include either Science (Group A) program or Business and Management Program, in their program choices of the application.
