This joint honours degree combines high-level mathematics with a technically rigorous economics programme that emphasises the use of mathematical tools, including econometrics – the application of statistical methods to data to estimate economic models.

This degree will give you an edge in applying the rigour and logic of mathematics to a wide range of economic phenomena. For example, you'll learn how to use advanced linear algebra to analyse high-dimensional economic data or how to use the mathematical structure of complex networks to model strategic interactions.

You'll benefit from teaching that's informed by the latest developments and cutting-edge research. Our research ranks in the top five amongst UK universities for economics and econometrics as well as for mathematics (REF 2021). We are also home to the Economics Network, which improves the teaching and learning of economics in universities throughout the UK and Europe.

You'll build a solid grounding in the fundamentals of both disciplines, including applied analysis, probability and statistics, micro- and macroeconomics, and econometrics. You'll also be able to tailor your degree to suit your interests and career ambitions with optional modules – exploring topics ranging from data science to behavioural economics, financial mathematics to machine learning, time series analysis to international trade, and more.

The option to undertake a final year dissertation also gives you the opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills in a specialist area of economics, as you hone your research and analysis capabilities exploring a question of particular interest to you.

By the end of the programme, you'll be well-prepared for a successful career. On average, Bristol economics students earn 28% more than other UK economics graduates within five years of graduation – typically enjoying salaries between £44,000 and £87,000 per year (discoveruni.gov.uk, 2025).

Recent BSc Economics and Mathematics graduates have gone on to roles such as Data Analyst, Proprietary Trader, Audit Associate, and Environmental Advisor. They work at globally renowned organisations including JP Morgan, Amazon, PwC, and Scotiabank.
