Finances for studying abroad on exchange
Discover the equation of success as you develop numerical, analytical, and financial skills to make a difference in business.
Make informed accounting decisions. Forecast future financial scenarios. Analyse business data. Evaluate investment opportunities. Learning mathematics with finance and accounting equips you with a powerful toolkit in the world of business and commerce.
We’ve designed this course to cover key numerical and analytical skills, alongside solid financial grounding. And you’ll explore how you can make a real impact in the workplace through your new ability to tackle complex financial problems.
This course is more than just theory – it’s about practical application too. You’ll have the opportunity to apply for a paid professional placement to put your knowledge into practice in the financial sector. Or how about applying to study abroad with one of our partner universities in North America, Asia or Australia?
Teaching and employability are a priority for us. Taught jointly by the School of Mathematical Sciences and the School of Business and Management, you’ll learn from experts across both fields. And with the support of our careers consultant, you could soon be thriving as a chartered accountant, auditor, or financial investigator.
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.
