Objectives
This course allows students to gain a good understanding of both accounting and financial management, and mathematics. In accounting and financial management students will gain a good technical grounding and will have the opportunity to specialise in particular areas of accounting and financial management, like financial accounting, management accounting or finance. The mathematics part of the course is taught by the departments of Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and Probability and Statistics. Students study Core Mathematics and some, but not all, of the courses taken by single honours Mathematics students. The study of applied mathematics, and probability and statistics does not assume any prior knowledge.
