What you study	Economics	Economics Interdisciplinary Studies Mathematics	Economics Entrepreneurship Interdisciplinary Studies International Development
What it is	You study the principles and systems behind how economies work, from personal finance and business decisions to national and global trade. This three-year degree covers economic theory and real-world applications, giving you a broader education than a specialized business program. It suits people curious about how markets, governments, and money shape society, and who want flexibility to move into business, policy, law, or further study afterward.	You study mathematics and economics together as equally important subjects, learning how to use mathematical methods to analyze economic problems and data. This combined degree differs from studying either subject alone because you build expertise in both fields rather than majoring in one and minoring in the other. It suits students who enjoy both abstract mathematics and real-world applications, and want to prepare for careers in finance, data analysis, or economic research.	You study how economic systems and social enterprises can solve real-world problems, combining economics, business start-ups, international development, and community-focused thinking. Unlike a straight economics or business program, this degree emphasizes using entrepreneurship and innovation specifically to create social change, not just profit. It suits people who want to understand global inequality and poverty while learning practical skills to launch organizations or projects that address them.
