Program Overview


Course overview

You spend two-thirds of your time studying mathematics and statistics, and one-third studying topics in accountancy and corporate fiNAce in Newcastle University Business School.

Alongside core modules from our mathematics and statistics programmes, you will take specialist topics with fiNAcial applications, such as fiNAcial modelling.

This is complemented by corporate fiNAce modules, including interpreting company accounts and international fiNAce management.

Our teaching is informed by research. Course content may change periodically to reflect developments in the discipline, the requirements of external bodies and partners, and student feedback.


Featured module

MAS1607: Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations

Develop an understanding of ordinary differential equations and introduce the calculus of functions of several variables.

Optional module availability

Student demand for optional modules may affect availability.

Full details of the modules on offer will be published through the Programme Regulations and Specifications ahead of each academic year. This usually happens in May.

To find out more please see our terms and conditions.

Stage 1

Stage 2

Stage 3

You'll spend two-thirds of your time covering the main areas of pure mathematics, applied mathematics, algebra, probability and statistics. Outside your core modules, we place particular emphasis on mathematics topics with fiNAcial applications such as stochastic fiNAcial modelling. You'll complement this with accountancy, corporate fiNAce and international fiNAce management topics, providing a broad understanding of the fiNAce of the business world.

    Information about these graphs

    We base these figures and graphs on the most up-to-date information available to us. They combine data on the planned delivery and assessments of our courses in 2021-22 with data on the modules chosen by our students in 2020-21.

    Teaching time is made up of:

  • scheduled learning and teaching activities. These are timetabled activities with a member of staff present
  • structured guided learning. These are activities developed by staff to support engagement with module learning. Students or groups of students undertake these activities without direct staff participation or supervision

  • Teaching and assessment


    Teaching methods

    You'll be taught through:

  • lectures
  • problem classes
  • tutorials and drop-in sessions
  • practical computer classes and computer-based assessments
  • data collection and analysis

  • Assessment methods

    You'll be assessed through a combination of:

  • Assignments – written or fieldwork

  • Examinations – practical or online


  • Skills and experience


    Business skills

    Throughout your degree, you'll develop a whole range of transferable skills, for example analytical, report writing and presentation skills.

    You'll have the opportunity to take part in optional industrial and business projects and placements. These opportunities are very flexible. They are arranged throughout the academic year, during the summer period or through students taking a break from academic studies.

    Projects with industry prepare you well for a career both outside and within academia, learning vital new skills and gaining new experiences.
