Do girls even study accounting and finance courses in uni or is it just a boys thing?

Mainly Leeds uni but feel free to reply
It's not just a guy thing, there will be girls studying it too.

Ah thanks that's good because I don't want to see the same faces only and want to make university a chance to explore/discover new mates and bonds on top of the learning and everything else that comes with it. Anyways how do you know did u study this course/studying currently?

No I don't study it but there are bound to be girls studying it. I studied a subject that usually only boys do but I'm a girl and studied it and there were other girls in my class, there were more boys but there were girls.
All the people I know except one who are accountants or studied accountancy are women.

At Leeds the ratio of male:female students studying Accounting and Finance is 39:61 (so a nearly double the amount of female students). https://university.which.co.uk/university-of-leeds-l23/courses/accounting-and-finance-bsc-hons-2019-19ddcc7699b9

Excellent I'm a boy but don't want the course do be dominated by males as I know my existing friends will be doing it and i want uni to be an opportunity for me to meet new people and get out me comfort zone. Also my school was all boys hence I don't wanna study a course containing all boys and only a couple if not any girls are doing
