Accounting & Finance and Mathematics
Accounting and finance combined with mathematics brings together three disciplines that share a commitment to rigorous quantitative reasoning. Accounting focuses on measuring and reporting financial performance, ensuring that organisations can account for their resources and decisions. Finance examines how capital is raised, allocated, and managed over time, dealing with investment, risk, and the valuation of assets.
Mathematics provides the formal tools that underpin both, from statistical analysis and probability to optimisation and modelling. Together, the combination produces graduates who can move fluently between theoretical frameworks and practical financial problems.
At Liverpool Hope University, this full-time, three-year programme includes a sandwich year, a year abroad, and work placement opportunities, giving you substantial professional and international experience before you graduate. You will study the principles of financial accounting and management accounting alongside the mathematics of finance, including quantitative methods, statistical analysis, and the formal reasoning that enables rigorous problem-solving. The accounting and finance strand provides a strategic grounding, preparing you to understand and contribute to financial decision-making in organisations of all kinds.
The typical entry tariff is 104 UCAS points.
Graduates with this combination of skills are in strong demand across the financial services sector, where quantitative ability and financial knowledge together create a distinctive profile. Careers in accountancy, investment banking, financial analysis, actuarial work, risk management, financial technology, and management consultancy are all accessible. The degree's mathematical rigour also supports roles in quantitative research and data analysis in financial and other contexts.
Professional accountancy qualifications are a natural next step for many graduates, and the academic preparation this degree provides supports progress through chartered and management accountancy routes. Postgraduate study in finance, mathematics, or data science is also an option.
