Programme overview

Main Subject

Mathematics

Degree

BSc

Study Level

Undergraduate

Study Mode

On Campus

Studying mathematics at university encourages you to think in an entirely different way. Through the introduction to new mathematical concepts not explored at school level, you will develop a rigorous mindset, and gain invaluable problem-solving skills and analytical skills.


Your business, management and economics courses will teach you how to apply these skills in a business setting.


Areas of study


Your time will be split evenly between mathematics and business. You may also have time to explore an additional subject in Year 1.


Mathematics


Through your mathematics courses, you will learn new ways of approaching and analysing complex problems, a particularly valuable skill that will serve you well throughout your degree and beyond.


Later in this programme, you can choose to:


  • specialise in particular aspects of mathematics or business
  • examine the links between the two subjects
  • study a broad range of topics


Business


Studying business will prepare you for the social, political and cultural challenges facing contemporary businesses, governments and not-for-profit organisations.


You will develop the personal and professional competencies required to work across a range of roles in contemporary business, including:


  • finance
  • strategy
  • marketing
  • human resource management
  • data analytics
  • entrepreneurship and innovation


The Business School's Student Development team provides opportunities for you to develop a range of essential business graduate competencies. You may participate in versions of the undergraduate Edinburgh Award programme supported by an alumni professional mentor and trained coaches:


  • Personal and Professional Development (Year 2)
  • Effective and Responsible Leadership (Year 3 or 4)


You can also participate in a large number of business societies, business events and peer-support schemes.
