Accounting & Finance and Information Technology
Accounting and finance combined with information technology addresses a growing reality in the professional world: that financial roles increasingly depend on technological fluency, and that technology roles increasingly require financial literacy. Accounting provides the systematic recording, reporting, and analysis of financial information that underpins every commercial and public sector organisation. Finance examines how capital is raised, invested, and managed over time.
Information technology adds the tools and systems thinking needed to work effectively in the digital environments where most financial work now happens.
The four-year full-time Accounting and Finance and Information Technology programme at Liverpool Hope University includes a foundation year, making it accessible to students who need additional preparation before entering the main degree, with a typical entry tariff of 104 points. The programme gives you a strong strategic outlook across all three disciplines, ensuring that when you graduate you are ready to guide management decisions at a senior level. You will study financial accounting, management accounting, corporate finance, auditing, and taxation alongside information systems, data management, and the technology frameworks used in financial services and business intelligence.
A sandwich year, year abroad, and work placement options provide substantial professional and international experience within the degree structure, which is particularly valuable in the accounting and finance professions where practical experience is essential for professional qualification.
Graduates are well placed for careers in public practice accounting, corporate finance, financial management, IT audit, financial systems consulting, and technology roles within financial services. Many go on to complete professional accounting qualifications, and the combination of financial and technology skills opens additional pathways in fintech, data analytics, and business transformation.
