Accounting & Finance and Information Technology

Accounting and finance combined with information technology is a degree for students who recognise that the future of financial management is being reshaped by digital tools and data-driven approaches. Accounting and finance provides the theoretical and practical expertise to understand financial reporting, management accounting, auditing, investment, and the strategic financial decisions that guide organisations. Information technology adds the computational and systems knowledge to understand how digital platforms, data analytics, and software are transforming how financial work is done.

At Liverpool Hope University, this three-year full-time degree gives you both a solid strategic financial outlook and the IT skills that are increasingly indispensable in modern finance roles. You will study a range of topics covering theory and practice in both accounting and finance, building the foundational expertise needed for professional roles in financial management, while the IT component develops your competence in systems, data, and the digital tools that support financial analysis and reporting. The programme includes a sandwich year for professional experience, a year abroad option, and work placements, all of which strengthen your employability and give you direct experience of applying your learning in real contexts.

The typical entry tariff is 104 UCAS points.

Graduates of this programme are well placed for careers in accounting, financial analysis, management consultancy, banking, business systems analysis, and the fast-growing field of financial technology. Many graduates pursue professional accounting qualifications alongside or after their degree, and the IT dimension makes them particularly attractive to employers who need finance professionals who can work with modern financial systems and data platforms. Postgraduate study in accounting, finance, or information systems is also a natural direction.
