Highlights

Build yourself a super degree by combining the power of game theory, financial tools and research.

A mathematics and economics major teaches you to use, mathematics, economic tools and research data to make sense of the world. By analysing trends and patterns and building mathematical models, you can make forecasts and recommendations to help organizations improve their operations in ways that will benefit them financially and maybe bring benefits to humanity more broadly.

Economics allows you to turn theory into something real. You get to shape the future by putting questions like “What if?” and “Why not?” through cost-benefit analyses to arrive at real options that organizations can choose from.

If you enjoy math or have strong math skills, you may be particularly well suited to the study of the math and economics major. This specialization involves the analysis and interpretation of variables and data that relate to individual organizations and the regional, national and global economy.
