Double Degree Bachelor in Economics and Mathematics

3 Years On Campus Dual-bachelors Program

University of Paris Saclay

Program Overview

The Dual Licence in Economics and Mathematics at Université Paris-Saclay is a selective three-year program that awards both a national bachelor's degree and a university diploma, blending rigorous training in math and economics to build dual expertise. It's perfect for high-achieving students with a strong math background—like those with a French baccalauréat featuring Mathematics specialty and options such as "Mathématiques expertes" or SES—who are passionate about economic issues and ready for an interdisciplinary challenge that opens doors to top master's programs.

 

### Curriculum Structure
First Year (LDD1 Économie, Mathématiques)
This year eases you into university life with a balanced mix of mathematics and economics, focusing on core foundations, academic methods, and scientific rigor to bridge high school and advanced study. You'll master basic concepts in Algebra and Analysis while solving standardized math problems, grasp fundamental economic mechanisms, and start linking them through simple modeling. Reinforcement classes, broadening courses, and tools like computer skills and English round it out, helping you structure reasoning and adapt to dual-disciplinary demands.

Second and Third Years
Building on LDD1, the later years deepen your skills with advanced math tools essential for economics and more complex modeling, while preparing you directly for master's-level studies or engineering schools. You'll tackle interdisciplinary applications, honing rigorous reasoning and economic analysis alongside specialized math, all within Paris-Saclay's world-class research environment.

Focus Areas
Core strengths include mathematical modeling for economics, algebra/analysis fundamentals, economic mechanisms, and transversal skills like academic English, computing, and structured reasoning—ideal for linking theory to real-world applications.

Learning Outcomes
Graduates master algebra and analysis basics, solve math problems, explain economic fundamentals, connect models across disciplines, and excel in writing, tools, and English communication.

Professional Alignment (Accreditation)
This nationally accredited double degree from Université Paris-Saclay aligns perfectly with elite pathways like the English-taught Master's in Economics (accepting BA Economics or BS Mathematics grads) or Mathematics, Vision, Learning, leading to PhDs, public institutions, international orgs, consulting, or research.

Reputation (Employability Rankings)
Paris-Saclay's Graduate Schools in Mathematics and Economics & Management set global standards in pure math, applications (e.g., quantitative finance, data sciences), and fields like sustainable economy and innovation, powering top PhD placements and careers taught by international scholars.
