The Honours Bachelor of Arts Combined Major in Economics and Mathematics allows you to study economic theory while building strong mathematical skills.
With a focus on statistics and applied methods, the program gives you practical tools for modeling and data analysis.
This combination strengthens the technical side of economics and is highly regarded by graduate programs. Employers also value this background, particularly in fields like insurance, banking and risk analysis, where advanced numerical skills and analytical thinking are important. The program prepares you for careers in both the public and private sectors, as well as further study in economics, statistics, or related areas.
