In the first year, you will take Calculus, Complex Numbers and Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus, Statistics, Introduction to Financial Accounting, Introduction to Management Accounting, IT for Business, and Economic Principles for Business and Markets. Why this subject? Range and depth of study options. We offer a wide range of modules, ranging from Financial Mathematics to Fluid Mechanics, from Chaos to Combinatorics. In the final year, many of our degree programmes offer the opportunity to undertake an in-depth project on a topic of your choice, supervised by a leading expert in the field. Exceptional employability. At Liverpool, we listen to employers’ needs. Alongside key problem solving skills, employers require strong communication skills and the ability to work in a team.
