This degree is part of our Joint Honours in Science scheme. It allows you to specialise in the two complementary subjects of accounting and mathematics.

Dividing your study equally between accounting and mathematics, you reach the same standard as a Single Honours student but cover fewer topics in each subject. This gives you breadth with depth in your study.

Quality and ranking

Accounting and Finance at Newcastle is highly regarded, ranking in the top 10 UK universities in The Complete University Guide 2013.

Teaching and assessment

Our degrees are taught using a combination of lectures, problem classes, tutorials, practical computer classes, computer-based assessments, data collection and analysis, and drop-in sessions. Further information can be found on our undergraduate web pages about the approach to teaching and learning at Newcastle University.

We assess your performance in each module through a combination of assignments and end-of-semester examinations. Many of our assignments take place online and are aimed at helping you with key material. Teaching and assessment methods may vary from module to module, more information can be found in our individual module listings.

Student support

We have an active system of student support in place with student buddies to guide you through the early weeks and a dedicated academic support team.

Throughout your degree, you will be individually supported by a personal tutor as well as advisers for both of your subject areas. You will also find a strong student community in the School of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development which will be the administrative home for your degree. This means that, although you will not be studying modules delivered by the School, you will receive support from the staff based there, including a senior tutor from within the School.
