This Double Bachelor in Economics and Mathematical Engineering provides students with the necessary skills and knowledge to design mathematical models and develop specific software to meet the challenges of the “new digital economy”.
The Bachelor in Economics enables students to analyse economic reality using a rigorous, quantitative and critical approach. They can apply this approach to different contexts, including macroeconomic and financial analysis, business management or public policy analysis. Economics has evolved into an empirical science that uses theoretical frameworks to analyse and understand data. Students will develop the necessary professional skills and knowledge to identify and anticipate opportunities, allocate resources, organise information, recruit and motivate people, make decisions, reach goals and assess results.
The Bachelor in Mathematical Engineering is designed to provide society with data scientists, experts who combine a solid and consistent mathematical background with IT training focused on computing, understood as the intersection between Mathematics and Computer Science. Our graduates specialise in reliable and efficient data representation, storage, management and extraction, which enables them to tackle all kinds of digital projects in sectors such as banking, finance, insurance, logistics or any other areas that apply Industry 4.0 technologies.

Career Outcomes
CUNEF Universidad Double Bachelor in Economics and Mathematical Engineering provides students with the necessary skills and knowledge to design mathematical models and develop specific software to meet the challenges of the “new digital economy”. Graduates can be considered “Data Scientists”, since the Curriculum includes, apart from solid training in Economics, courses that focus exclusively on Data Science and Engineering.
In terms of career prospects, there is a wide range of options for recent graduates: taxation, analysis and planning services, public administration, international organisations, foreign trade, business management, economic consulting, teaching and research. There is a broad spectrum of career opportunities, including the private sector (companies, banks, consulting firms), the public sector (government agencies), and international institutions (OECD, IMF, World Bank, European Commission, etc.).
Our graduates will specialise in the development and implementation of management and information systems to treat, analyse and mine huge volumes of economic data in all types of companies and institutions.
