Our programmes that combine mathematics with business subjects utilise the expertise from both the Mathematics department and the Business School. You will gain a firm foundation in mathematics and also acquire in-depth knowledge and understanding of the business area of your choice. The combination of skills developed during these programmes make graduates very attractive to a wide range of employers.

At least 25 per cent of the credits are taken in the business subject. After the first year this proportion may be increased through your choice of optional modules. Previous study of the business subject is not necessary.

Details of the mathematics modules studied on each programme, along with the compulsory Business School modules, are given towards the back of this brochure. After the first year, additional modules from the Business School may be taken as electives.
