Course summary
Want to take your maths to the highest level while learning how to apply it to the world of accounting and finance? This degree is the perfect balance of theory and practice. Whether you become a banker, an accountant or a quantitative mathematician, your studies will equip you with the advanced mathematical and statistical techniques needed in the City of London and beyond.
How do you build a strong investment portfolio? How can you calculate financial risk? You will study investor decision-making, reporting and market analysis. You’ll also learn the key elements of relevant mathematical areas such as calculus, probability and statistics.
This course is accredited by British accountancy bodies, providing graduates with exemptions from certain professional examinations. This means, on graduation, you’ll be further along the Chartered Accountants route than many of your contemporaries.
Your degree starts with subjects including calculus, algebra, probability and statistics. We will teach you the foundations of economics, accounting and finance. You will use real-world data to develop your financial reporting skills.
The second year builds on your mathematical knowledge as well as introducing you to statistical computer programming. You’ll also study auditing, financial accounting, management accounting and finance.
Third year students develop their understanding of accounting and finance theories and practices. These include strategic investments, taxation, pensions and reporting standards, plus how to select the best statistical model.
Our graduates leave equipped for a working life of teamwork, equations and algebra. Their analytical ability, logical thinking and project management skills are highly prized in banking, general and financial management and consulting.
Careers
The skills you develop in your subject areas will open up exciting careers in accountancy, management and finance-related fields of work.
You may choose to follow in the footsteps of many previous Lancaster graduates who have gone straight into professional accountancy with a training contract at a professional firm. Alternatively, you may prefer to use the transferable skills you gain - such as analytical ability, logical thinking and project management - to successfully enter a career in fields including banking, general and financial management and consulting.
