BSc Accounting, Finance and Mathematics is a flexible, career-focused degree programme that lets you take control of your studies as your interests change over the course of your time at Lancaster University.

Third-year students develop their understanding of advanced accounting methods, financial reporting standards and statistics, and may choose to study options including investments, taxation and corporate finance.
Our Finance, Accounting and International careers coaches are experts in their fields. They help students gain access to employers and help prepare them for success in their future careers.
