Course summary

Economics is a social science which examines the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. Studying economics lets you understand how people interact with others and their surroundings. You’ll also investigate worldwide issues within a historical and philosophical context, and learn how to apply your knowledge for the good of business and society.

At the University of Stirling Business School, our economics courses are taught in an innovative new way through our commitment to the CORE Project – “Economics for a Changing World”.  We place great emphasis on applying economic thinking to real world business and policy challenges. You’ll gain strong analytical skills along with the knowledge and practical skills you need to gain success in your chosen career.

Mathematics, simply put, is the study and science of quantity, shapes and arrangement. Mathematicians find and understand patterns which can solve real-world problems or explain phenomena.

Maths fundamentals include:

  • number theory (quantity)

  • algebra (structure)

  • geometry (shapes)

  • mathematical analysis (change).

At the University of Stirling, you will study real-world applications of both mathematical and statistical techniques.
