Overview

The Mathematics and Financial Economics (Hons) programme from University of Dundee combines both pure and application-driven mathematics. By the time you finish your degree, you will be able to use maths to solve practical problems.

You'll explore the relationship between mathematical modelling and economics. You'll also examine how societies attempt to make the best use of their scarce resources.

You'll combine core economic skills with current and fast-changing theories around financial markets. This course gives you the knowledge and techniques you need for more specialised careers in financial economics, research and forecasting or a future in business management, finance, banking and accountancy.

Advising on investment, production and prices are decisions that people might associate with economists, but they are increasingly asked to advise on:

policies to address climate change

policies to address inequality

policies to improve the National Health Service

many other issues including; marriage, religion, civil war, football hooliganism

This course focuses specifically on the macroeconomic challenges of national, regional and global economies together with the microeconomic behaviour of people and businesses.

Teaching

In Levels 1 and 2 teaching is initially through a combination of lectures and tutorials. These continue in Levels 3 and 4, supplemented by workshops and computer laboratory sessions. Increasingly you will be required to undertake directed independent study to broaden and deepen your understanding of the issues covered in the teaching.

This also teaches the use of professional mathematical software packages in order to allow you to explore mathematics far beyond the limits of traditional teaching. This also prepares you for the way in which mathematicians work across various industries.

Careers

Mathematics graduates are intelligent, logical problem solvers. With this training behind you, the career options become almost limitless.

Many of graduates have moved into financial planning, investment, insurance, pensions and wider financial roles.
