Description:

This is a unique double major based on a mathematical approach to economics. A big strength of this program is that we develop the students’ skills in logical thinking using mathematical methods.

The Mathematics Economics track of the Bachelor Program relies on the construction, analysis, and interpretation of abstract models as well as on the confrontation of theoretical conclusions with empirical data coming from the field or from controlled experiments. Following the program requires strong quantitative skills and a taste for abstract thinking.
