Quantitative Methods for Business and Economics: Maths (N1582F)

15 credits, Level 3 (sub-degree)

Autumn teaching

On this module, you’ll be introduced to the mathematical methods and techniques commonly used in business, finance and economics and other social sciences. You’ll develop confidence in reading and using simple mathematical terms, formulae and expressions.

There will be a strong emphasis on practical applications to real-world issues, such as looking at economic, business and finance data and applying ideas such as discount rates to investment decisions.

The skills you develop on this module will also be transferable for use in other disciplines outside business and the social sciences, as well as in everyday life.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
