Achieve a grounding in economic theory and explore the different statistical approaches needed to analyse complex financial data.
During this course, you’ll develop your understanding of the tools and key theories within economics and mathematics. You'll use these skills to analyse contemporary problems and policy.
Mathematics is the foundation of economic analysis. By learning how mathematical language enables the development of economic and financial theory, you’ll develop the skills needed to analyse complex financial data.
In Year 1, you'll learn about key concepts in microeconomic and macroeconomic theory. This will help you develop your skills in mathematical and statistical theory and applications.
During Year 2, you'll take part in more advanced study of economic theory, mathematics and statistics, and acquire a deeper understanding of economic relationships.
In your final year, you will select from a wide range of optional units. This will give you the freedom to focus on your interests and career ambitions. These units will broadly cover advanced topics in economics and mathematics.
Throughout this course, you’ll explore mathematical methods and techniques such as algebra, analysis, probability and statistics. You’ll also learn the programming skills to implement computational modelling and analysis in economic contexts.
You’ll learn from teaching staff with diverse backgrounds and expertise in different areas of economics. Their passion, knowledge and research shape their teaching with the aim of enhancing your learning experience.
You’ll have access to some of the latest industry-standard statistical, mathematical and econometric software. This will allow you to access up-to-the-minute data on real-world trends to enhance your learning experience.
We work to provide you with the tools and support to prepare you for employment and further study.
These include:
Many of our economics graduates have gone on to careers in both the private and public sectors, working as economists, financial or business analysts, researchers, accountants and tax professionals.

We understand that you will want to know more about the shape of the academic year. We work hard and plan for different scenarios, to be able to welcome you to the University of Bath at the start of each semester.
This course lasts 4 years. It starts in September 2025 and ends in 2029. Welcome week starts on 22 September 2025.
Occasionally we make changes to our programmes in response to, for example, feedback from students, developments in research and the field of studies, and the requirements of accrediting bodies. You will be advised of any significant changes to the advertised programme, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
At Bath, our courses are made up of units of study. Compulsory units cover core concepts that you'll need to understand as part of your degree programme. Some of our courses also offer the opportunity for you to study optional units. These allow you to specialise in particular areas of knowledge that interest you.
As an undergraduate, you will be expected to take 120 credits (60 ECTS credits) in each academic year. Credits are usually split evenly across your two semesters of study. 120 credits (60 ECTS credits) are the equivalent of 1,200 notional hours of study; this includes contact time with staff and your own independent learning.

You can choose to do a professional placement, study at one of our overseas partner institutions, or combine the two in your third year. This is an opportunity to enhance your CV, gain new skills, and establish networks either within industry, internationally, or both.
Doing a professional placement in Year 3 allows you to use what you've learnt in a practical context. You’ll find out about the organisation you join and how it works, while learning more about potential future careers. Our students have worked in the UK and overseas. Some have been offered graduate roles following placements.
You’ll develop skills like planning, problem-solving, decision making and project management. Sometimes you can gain professional qualifications, particularly in accountancy, during placements.
Employers often value placements, so you could gain an advantage in the job market.
Previous students have done placements with organisations in the public and private sectors. These include:
Placement opportunities can’t be guaranteed but you will receive tailored support from our dedicated placement team to help you secure a placement.
Read more about doing a professional placement.
If you decide to study abroad in your third year, you will spend time at one of our agreed partner institutions. You will study a course that complements your existing learning and experience a new culture.
You can combine studying abroad with a placement (this can be in the UK or overseas) to further broaden your experience and enhance your CV. If you do this, you'll spend one semester studying and one working.
Study abroad exchanges are typically available in the below countries:
Taking part in study abroad is dependent on good academic performance in Year 1. Some funding may be available but isn’t guaranteed.
For each option, you’ll receive support from various university teams, as well as your Director of Studies.
Study abroad opportunities are limited and are subject to availability at our partner institutions. Available destinations may vary from year-to-year. Read more about studying abroad as part of your undergraduate degree.
You’ll be taught and assessed by a variety of methods and it will vary between units. These methods are designed to promote in-depth learning and understanding of the subject.
These lists are to give you an idea of some, but not all, of the learning and assessment methods used on this course. They are not exhaustive lists and methods are subject to change.
Timetabled contact hours, which may be made up of lectures, seminars, tutorials and workshops vary throughout your course and between courses but are typically between 12 and 15 hours a week in your first year.
Our teaching for this course is delivered through in-person learning on campus, supported by high quality online provision. The significant majority of contact hours over the duration of your course will be in person, and this will be enhanced by some online delivery which will constitute a smaller proportion of these contact hours, depending on your programme of study, year of study and chosen optional units. This may be supplemented by additional activities such as a small number of online learning sessions (not live), skills development sessions, and personal tutorials.
The amount of timetabled sessions on campus in later years may vary based on the options you choose, with a greater emphasis on independent learning. Project and dissertation units will generally have fewer scheduled sessions to allow you time for your independent work – this may also mean the number of hours of timetabled sessions each week will vary within a year.
In addition to timetabled contact hours, you are expected to undertake independent learning and assessment activities. Typically, this might be around 20 to 28 hours per week in your first year, and include individual research, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, preparing coursework assignments, presentations, or revising for exams. After your first year, the emphasis on independent learning becomes greater, for example, you may do a final year project in the final year. You’ll be expected to work both on your own and as part of a group.
You will be assessed in a range of methods designed to develop and test your skills and knowledge.
50% to 75% of your course will be assessed through examinations.
25% to 50% will be assessed through essays, reports, and presentations.
The balance of assessment methods may vary throughout your degree.
The final degree classification is determined by your second and final year marks and each contributes 32% and 68% respectively.
You will primarily be assessed as an individual, but may also be assessed as part of a group.
We can make reasonable adjustments to assessment procedures for students with disabilities, take a look at our Disability Service’s pages for information.
As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries).
The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.
‘There’s a wide spectrum of opportunities that you're exposed to during a placement. I would say it's one of the best opportunities for you to get a step ahead.’
Your application, especially your personal statement, should demonstrate your enthusiasm for your chosen degree. This might include relevant reading, involvement in political or debating societies, relevant topics from your current studies that particularly interest you, other extra-curricular or co-curricular activities, work experience or activism for a political party or an NGO.

Visit our undergraduate virtual experienceYou will develop core skills in mathematics. You will study algebra and build a firm grounding in the fundamental objects of mathematics such as sets, functions, numbers, polynomials and matrices. You will study analysis to define the notions of convergence and limit. You will develop a solid foundation in probability theory that will facilitate further study in probability and statistics.
You will develop further skills in mathematics. You will study linear algebra, both via matrices and via vector spaces and linear maps, focussing on the most widely applicable aspects. You will examine the theory of continuity for functions of one real variable. You will use continuous random variables and explore statistical modelling and parameter estimation.
Gain introductory knowledge of the main macroeconomic variables, including output, inflation, employment, interest rates and the exchange rate.
During this unit you’ll learn about how variables are measured, the key macroeconomic concepts used to explain them, and explore associated important policy issues.
You’ll explore alternative theories of the business cycle and evaluate them by how well they explain the facts.
Gain introductory knowledge of the methods of microeconomic analysis, including a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of fundamental economic models and their applications.
You’ll develop an understanding of how consumers and firms make their economic decisions, and how individuals or economic entities interact strategically.
You’ll also be introduced to basic game theoretic concepts, and to how individuals make decisions in the face of uncertainty.
Gain an understanding of cross-section and time series econometric methods, building on your Year 1 learning of statistical hypothesis testing and least-squares regression.
Our systematic approach to model building focuses on formulation and estimation of regression functions, interpretation of results and diagnostic tests to judge reliability.
You’ll develop your statistical concepts knowledge, and analytical and applied software skills during seminars and computer classes.
Explore key conceptual and theoretical frameworks for analysing different market structures, such as competitive equilibrium in exchange economies, markets with externalities, imperfect competition, and markets with asymmetric information. You’ll study formal game theoretic tools to model and analyse strategic interactions between individuals or economic entities in sequential settings with an extended time horizon and complete information (such as in sequential market entry by competing firms).
This unit will develop your knowledge of statistical theory and your ability to apply statistical methods in analysing data. You will use the programming language R to fit models to data and you will develop the skills to interpret and use a fitted model.
This unit will further develop your knowledge of statistical theory and its application in data analysis, with particular focus on the normal linear model.
