Accounting & Finance and Computer Science

Accounting and finance combined with computer science is a dual-discipline degree that addresses a growing need in the modern economy: professionals who can bring both financial rigour and technical computing skills to the organisations they work in. Finance and accounting generate and depend on vast amounts of data, and the people who can both understand the financial principles at stake and use computational tools to analyse, model, and automate processes are in increasingly strong demand across the financial sector and beyond.

Liverpool Hope University's four-year full-time Accounting, Finance and Computer Science degree, offered with a foundation year, has a typical entry tariff of 88 points. It includes a sandwich year, a year abroad option, and work placement opportunities, giving you substantial professional exposure and the potential for international experience before you graduate. As the course notes, the accounting and finance strand gives you a strong strategic outlook for guiding management decisions, combining theory and practice across topics including financial reporting, management accounting, corporate finance, and investment.

The computing strand develops technical skills in programming, data structures, and systems analysis that complement the financial content and prepare you for roles where both sets of skills are needed.

Graduates pursue careers in financial technology, data analytics in finance, accounting and audit, management consultancy, banking and investment, software development for financial applications, and business intelligence. The combination of skills is particularly valued in the growing fintech sector, where companies are developing new products and services at the intersection of finance and technology. Postgraduate study in finance, computing, data analytics, or business information systems is an option for those wishing to deepen their expertise.
