Course summary

Affiliated with the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Institute, the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII), and partners with the Certificate in Quantitative Finance (CQF) Institute and Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) Association, this programme demonstrates professional rigour and academic excellence across the breadth of modern finance.

Study Finance and Data Analytics at Liverpool and prepare for the future of global finance. Based in a global city with a thriving digital and financial services sector, you’ll be immersed in an environment that connects learning to real-world innovation and opportunity.

From day one, you’ll combine financial theory with practical data skills, learning Python, analysing industry datasets, and turning complex information into clear, actionable insights.

You’ll move from mastering the foundations of finance to exploring advanced areas such as data mining and machine learning, building both technical expertise and the adaptability, problem-solving and commercial awareness that employers demand.

With a curriculum that integrates finance and data analytics from the very start, support from state-of-the-art facilities, innovative teaching, and strong industry connections, this programme gives you the edge to succeed in competitive global markets.

During your time with us, you can apply to spend a Year in Industry. Placements are taken in third year, returning to campus after placement to complete final year. Students who apply for the standard three-year programme can swap to the Year in Industry programme once they arrive on campus in September.

We also have a range of study abroad opportunities to apply for, including Summer Abroad, Semester Abroad, Year Abroad or Year in China. Applications for these are supported by our specialist Global Opportunities team.

This programme is available with either a Year in China or a Year Abroad. The Year in China offers undergraduate students the opportunity to spend one year at our joint venture, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU). You can choose either the China Studies Track, where you will take courses from the China Studies Degree, the Creative Track, or the Entrepreneurship Track . XJTLU is a fully English-speaking university, located in Suzhou. The Year Abroad offers students the opportunity to spend a full academic year studying at one of our partner universities around the world, following a mixture of culture and/or discipline-related modules. If you wish to study this programme with a Year in China or a Year Abroad you will have the opportunity to apply after you arrive at Liverpool.
