The study of mathematics provides an excellent basis for the applied techniques of accountancy and finance. In this three-year joint honours programme you split your studies equally between the two related disciplines and gain the knowledge that responds to the needs and expectations of the modern accountancy profession. The degree provides various exemptions from the examinations of the professional accountancy bodies.

You acquire many transferable skills including the ability to deal with challenging ideas, to think critically, to write well and to present your ideas clearly, all of which are considered essential by graduate employers. Recent graduates have gone into careers in accountancy training with firms such as KPMG and Ernst & Young, medical statistics, the pharmaceutical industry, the aerospace industry, software development, teaching, actuarial work, Civil Service statistics, chartered accountancy, the oil industry and postgraduate research.
