Overview
Our Mathematics and Accounting and Financial Management BSc (Hons) degree is equally divided between maths and accounting, providing the ideal platform for those who want to build a career in corporate finance.
Evenly divided between the two main subject areas, our Mathematics and Accounting and Financial Management BSc (Hons) degree draws upon the expertise of both the Department of Mathematical Sciences and the University’s School of Business and Economics. The aim of this degree is to provide you with knowledgeable insights into mathematics, accounting and financial management in the context of "real world" business and commerce.
The course is designed for those who wish to gain knowledge of corporate finance, accounting and financial management as well as the powerful mathematical tools used in the financial and business sector. The problem-solving skills which are strongly developed in the mathematics section and the accounting skills that will also be acquired make graduates highly attractive to a wide range of employers.
Over the duration of the BSc Mathematics and Accounting and Financial Management degree you will combine training in the fundamentals of mathematics (such as mathematical methods, linear algebra, probability and statistics, and complex variables) with modules essential to your potential future career (financial accounting, law, markets, derivatives, macro- and microeconomics).
This course is accredited by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
