Accounting & Finance and Business Management

Accounting and finance combined with business management is a degree that develops the specific financial and analytical expertise of accounting alongside the broader commercial understanding of a management education. Accounting and finance gives you the tools to read, prepare, and interpret financial information, to understand investment and funding decisions, and to engage with the regulatory and professional frameworks that govern financial reporting. Business management adds the strategic and organisational dimension, equipping you to understand how businesses operate, compete, and lead people, and to apply financial knowledge within its proper commercial context.

At Liverpool Hope University, this three-year full-time programme is designed to prepare you for leadership roles in finance and business. It provides both a strong theoretical foundation and the practical skills that employers in financial management roles expect. A sandwich placement year, a year abroad, and work placement opportunities are all built into the programme, giving you substantial professional and international experience before you graduate.

The typical entry tariff of 88 points reflects the broad and accessible character of the programme.

You will develop financial and analytical rigour, strategic business thinking, and the communication and interpersonal skills that management careers demand, alongside direct professional experience that distinguishes you in the graduate market.

Graduates pursue careers in accounting, financial management, banking, investment, business analysis, consultancy, and general management. The combined degree also provides a strong foundation for professional accounting qualifications, including those offered by the ACCA, CIMA, and ICAEW. Postgraduate study in finance, accounting, or business is a natural next step for those wishing to specialise or progress to more senior roles.
