Accounting & Finance and Mathematics
Accounting and Finance combined with Mathematics is a degree that takes two complementary disciplines and develops their natural synergies. Accounting and finance provide the professional and theoretical frameworks for understanding how organisations measure performance, manage resources and navigate capital markets, while mathematics contributes the quantitative rigour that underpins financial modelling, statistical analysis and the increasingly data-driven world of professional finance. Studying them together produces graduates with a particularly strong analytical toolkit that is valued highly across finance, business and the quantitative professions.
At Liverpool Hope University, this four-year full-time programme includes a sandwich placement year, a year abroad and work placement opportunities, ensuring that your academic learning is grounded in substantial professional and international experience. You will study the core areas of accounting and financial theory alongside mathematical foundations, developing competence in financial reporting, management accounting, investment analysis and the quantitative methods that support financial decision-making. The sandwich year and work placements give you practical professional experience that complements your degree and significantly enhances your readiness for employment on graduation.
Graduates from this combination degree are well-placed for careers in accounting, finance, investment, banking, insurance and actuarial science. The quantitative strength of the mathematics component is particularly valuable in roles involving financial modelling, data analysis and risk assessment. Many graduates pursue professional qualifications in accounting or actuarial science after graduation, and the degree provides an excellent foundation for postgraduate study in finance, financial mathematics, economics or business.
The combination of rigorous quantitative training and professional financial knowledge makes these graduates genuinely distinctive in the employment market.
