The Bachelor of Economics / Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) (Honours) at the University of New South Wales is a distinctive double degree program designed for students with strong analytical aptitude and a passion for exploring both economic systems and advanced mathematical theories. This rigorous program, delivered over 5.5 years, allows students to undertake two full undergraduate degrees concurrently, culminating in an honours-level qualification for advanced mathematics. Students complete units of study across both disciplines, earning credit points towards each degree's requirements, with the opportunity to specialise in areas such as econometrics, microeconomics, macroeconomics, pure mathematics, and applied mathematics.
During their studies, students develop a robust foundation in economic theory, quantitative analysis, and mathematical reasoning, learning to apply sophisticated modelling techniques to real-world economic problems. The advanced mathematics component involves honours-level coursework and a possible research thesis or capstone project, providing exposure to mathematical research and analytical methods sought after in various industries. The economics curriculum integrates core principles, elective streams, and high-level economic analysis reflective of contemporary Australian and global trends.
The structure follows the Australian tradition, with progression through semesters and the accumulation of designated credit points via core and elective units. Interdisciplinary learning and the option to engage in research or work-integrated learning (such as internships or projects with industry partners) further enhance student experience. This double degree suits high-achieving students intent on careers demanding exceptional quantitative, analytical, and problem-solving skills, and those interested in bridging the worlds of economics and mathematics in Australia’s competitive professional landscape.
International applicants must demonstrate English proficiency, with the commonly accepted standards outlined on the official page. Students are also able to work up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying in Australia, gaining valuable industry experience. Graduates meeting eligibility can explore post-study opportunities, including the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream (see government guidelines).
