Finances for studying abroad on exchange
Develop vital numerical and analytical skills along with a solid grounding in finance and accounting.
This degree programme combines mathematical and statistical training with finance and accounting, including general financial theory and its applications in the world of business and commerce.
In your first year, you’ll build a solid grounding across all areas of mathematics, probability and statistics, and explore the world of finance with modules in accounting and economics. Over your second and third years, you’ll study statistics and applied mathematics, alongside management accounting and financial mathematics.
Joint teaching from the School of Mathematical Sciences and the School of Business and Management means you’ll learn from experts across both fields, and benefit from the support and facilities of two academic schools.
This programme gives you the option to extend your degree with a year in a professional work placement, or to study with one of our partner institutions abroad.
You can complete your Mathematics with Finance and Accounting degree in three or four years. If you choose to do a professional placement or study abroad this will take place in Year 3, and Year 3 modules will instead be studied in Year 4.

"I am fascinated with the way my course is structured; my course has allowed me to explore and see different branches of mathematics with the provision of excellent course materials and support from the department."
You’ll learn through lectures and tutorials, and in exercise classes where students work together on problems, discuss ideas and ask questions. Statistical modules may have a practical element, taught in one of our computer labs.
Formal teaching time typically takes up 16 hours each week. You’ll also be expected to complete additional hours of independent study.
Most of your modules will be assessed by an examination worth at least 90 per cent of the year’s study, with the remainder covered by coursework and tests. You will also have the opportunity to complete a final-year project.
The School of Mathematical Sciences has invested £18m to create an inspiring, collaborative space for our community of students and staff. The building includes high-quality teaching rooms, private and group study areas and a new social hub.
