Undergraduate
BSc Mathematics and Economics
Structure
and Syllabus
You will be
required to make a serious attempt in the examination for 12
units to gain this degree.
You can take
the Foundation and Further units in any order, provided you
satisfy any prerequisites (units which you must have already
passed). Prerequisites are shown in italic text in brackets.
Most students,
however, would normally take the Foundation units first because
(as their name suggests) they are the 'building blocks' – the
foundation – for the units that follow.
