Overview
Combine the influential social science of economics, with advanced skills in mathematics and an Honours research project. This renowned double degree equips you with analytical and statistical skills that will set you apart from the crowd and prepare you for diverse careers.
Economists focus on the roles of incentives, resource constraints, laws, customs, and institutions. Through the Bachelor of Economics, you’ll explore how the decisions of institutions and individuals interact to determine outcomes for the economy and society. Mathematics and statistics are essential to advanced financial and economic modelling, making Advanced Mathematics a natural complement to Economics.
If you’re interested in the increasing range of quantitative careers in areas such as finance and environmental modelling, this degree offers a strong foundation.
Key features
Shape a degree to suit your goals
Economics and Mathematics offer three distinct majors, with the option to combine this with further electives and minors in other areas.
Supervised research project
Your Advanced Mathematics honours year is an integral part of the degree. It involves a supervised research project and, in some cases, advanced coursework.
Integrated practical experience
Both programs incorporate practical and professional experience. The Bachelor of Economics offers opportunities for internships, group consulting projects, and global practicums, while the Bachelor of Advanced Science includes for-credit work placements and research internships.

- The 2025 Lowest Selection Rank (LSR) is the adjusted rank (ATAR plus adjustment factors) you would have needed to gain entry to this degree in 2025.
- The 2025 A levels score is based on four Advanced Level (A2) subjects. Entry scores are calculated from the best three or four A2 subjects (excluding repeated subjects) using the following values: A*=6, A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1. At most one Applied A Level subject may be included in the best four subjects used to calculate the aggregate.
- The 2025 IB Diploma is an indication of the IB you would have needed to gain entry to this degree in 2025. It is to be used as a guide only.
- The 2025 Lowest ATAR is the lowest ATAR (before adjustment factors were applied) to which an offer was made. Where <5 is listed, this indicates that less than 5 ATAR-based offers were made and so the score has not been published. N/A indicates no offers were made on the basis of ATAR.
*The Lowest ATAR to which an offer was made, for this program, is based on a Â鶹Éçmadou Gateway Early Conditional Offer.
