经济学和数学科学学士学位（荣誉学位）

问题的答案具有清晰明确的性质，因此许多学生在学校被数学所吸引。数学是一门学科，在大学一级，精确的命题也可以通过优雅的论证而产生深远的影响，包括令人惊讶的应用。该学科的明确性质意味着，与大多数其他学科相比，获得一等学位的数学学生比例更高。在本课程中，您将研究数学主题以及经济学中的数学应用。数学发展了很强的解决问题的能力，可以补充课程经济学的一面，使您能够理解学科的更复杂要素，从而可以检查个人的决策，公司的策略和个人的政策。
On our BSc Economics and Mathematics course, you investigate topics in mathematics, and mathematical applications in economics. Mathematics develops strong problem solving skills that will complement the economics side of your course and allow you to understand the more complex elements of the subject, so that you can examine the decisions of individuals, the strategies of firms and the policies of individuals.You will explore topics including:Microeconomics (economics of producers and consumers)Macroeconomics (economics of nations)Financial topics such as derivatives, portfolio behaviour and asset pricingStatistical methods for studying big dataComputational techniques in languages such as Matlab and RRelevant mathematical tools including calculus and differential equationsMathematics is a discipline in which precise propositions can lead, through elegant arguments, to far-reaching consequences, including surprising applications. The clear-cut nature of the subject means that a higher proportion of mathematics students obtain first-class degrees than in many other subjects.Study abroadYour education extends beyond the university campus. We support you in expanding your education through offering the opportunity to spend a year or a term studying abroad at one of our partner universities. The four-year version of our degree allows you to spend the third year abroad or employed on a placement abroad, while otherwise remaining identical to the three-year course.Studying abroad allows you to experience other cultures and languages, to broaden your degree socially and academically, and to demonstrate to employers that you are mature, adaptable, and organised.If you spend a full year abroad you'll only pay 15% of your usual tuition fee to Essex for that year. You won't pay any tuition fees to your host universityPlacement yearAlternatively, you can spend your third year with an external organisation, learning about a particular sector, company or job role, applying your academic knowledge in a practical working environment, and receiving inspiration for future career pathways. You will be responsible for finding your placement, but with support and guidance provided by both your department and the placements team.If you complete a placement year you'll only pay 20% of your usual tuition fee to Essex for that year.
