Business Management and Mathematics

Business management and mathematics is a combination that pairs the study of how organisations operate, make decisions and create value with the rigorous analytical discipline that underpins quantitative reasoning in every area of business. Management equips you with the strategic, operational and people skills needed to lead and improve organisations. Mathematics provides the logical precision, modelling capability and quantitative methods that are increasingly valued in a data-driven commercial world.

Together they make you an unusually versatile graduate.

At Liverpool Hope University this programme includes a foundation year, which develops the mathematical, analytical and business foundations you need before the main degree begins. Across the full four-year programme, full time, you will study business management across its core functions, examining organisational dynamics, management processes and strategic decision-making from small enterprises to multinational companies. The mathematics strand develops your quantitative and analytical skills, exploring areas relevant to both pure mathematical thinking and its business applications.

The programme includes a sandwich year in industry, a year abroad and work placement opportunities.

Graduates of this combination are valued across a wide range of careers. Finance, consulting, data analysis, operations management, market research, technology and general management all draw on the blend of commercial understanding and mathematical reasoning the degree provides. The quantitative skills are particularly valuable in organisations that rely on data to drive decisions, including financial services, logistics, e-commerce and technology companies.

Postgraduate study in business, finance, data science, operational research or applied mathematics is a natural further step.
