Synopsis

Based on UCAS' latest applicant statistics, economics, finance and accountancy continue to be some of the most competitive subjects, and it is, therefore, difficult to secure places on courses. The application and selection process can be challenging and rigorous; so the application requires thorough preparation and proper research. The UCAS Guide to getting into Economics, Finance and Accountancy offers practical advice, to give anyone thinking about a career in these fields a head start in their research. If you have a head for figures, and are good at problem-solving and decision-making, a career in one of these fields could be for you. With so many disciplines to choose from, you may find your career taking you to a small town in the regions, or to the city of London and beyond. You could also find yourself calculating losses arising from a flood or earthquake, advising companies on mergers and acquisitions, rescuing troubled businesses, or even working in forensic accounting. The guide gives information on trends, salaries and working conditions, as well as graduate destinations, which show what graduates do after they complete their course. It offers case studies from professionals in these subject areas, gives thorough information on entry routes and qualifications, and advises on what funding is available. Practical advice is given on how to choose an institution and how they choose you, including how to prepare for an interview. The whole applicant journey through UCAS is explained, including information for international students. As an added bonus, the book includes a list of courses in economics, finance and accountancy offered by different universities and colleges. Further information about these courses is available on UCAS and university and college websites.
