What these subjects say about you
This is a seriously quantitative combination — choosing Further Maths alongside Economics signals you're not just comfortable with numbers but genuinely enjoy mathematical rigour, while still caring about how that rigour applies to real economic and financial questions. It's an excellent foundation for the most competitive and highly quantitative careers in finance and economics, and most top universities will look at this combination very favourably.
Degrees worth considering
Economics and Mathematics
Arguably the best use of this exact combination — full quantitative rigour alongside genuine economic theory, highly regarded for finance careers.
Mathematical Finance / Actuarial Science
If markets, risk and pricing specifically excite you, this leads directly into some of the most analytical, well-paid City careers available.
Mathematics (Pure / Research Track)
Worth considering if Further Maths is genuinely your favourite subject and you want to go deeper into pure maths rather than its applications.
Economics
A slightly less mathematically intense alternative that still makes excellent use of your quantitative strength.
Statistics / Mathematics with Statistics
Strong fit if you're drawn to the data and probability side of both subjects rather than pure economic theory.
