Warwick Account & Finance or Economics for IBD + Chance Me!
Title says it all, which degree (Accounting & Finance or Economics) places better into Investment Banking at Warwick, specifically?
-----
Have any Canadians applied in the past?
How good is the Warwick hockey team?
Warwick - Accounting & Finance
"Typically we require at least 85% in High School Diploma, with 5 M or U courses with grades of 85%. IB also accepted."
Grades:
Calculus (U) - 96%
Advanced Functions (U) - 96%
Data Management (U) - 100%
English (U) - 93%
Economics (U) - 100%
Resource Management (M) - 99%
From what I gather, you don't list your extracurricular activities in the United Kingdom. Rather, you write what's called a personal statement.
I've interned at a marketing research firm as well as a venture capital firm. I'm hoping to land a job in private wealth management.
I'm working on my Chartered Investment Manager (CIM®) Designation. I should have my Investment Management Techniques (IMT®) by the time I apply.
Thanks! -

They are both good degrees. A&F is arguably easier but has very similar prospects.
As for the hockey team (and I assume you mean field hockey)it is is good and they have 4 teams in different national leagues. My housemate is the president of the club if you want me to put you in contact with him. -

You can check the graduation statistics on their website and for A+F most become accountants (not sure if this is due to choice). For IBD I would say do Economics, its extremely competitive and I would personally find it more fascinating. However, A+F is easier to get first if you put the work in.

Re: Warwick Account & Finance or Economics for IBD + Chance Me!Haha, I mean ice hockey. Not many guys from Canada play field hockey, it's a girl's sport here.(Original post by FatboyGinger)

Thanks for the offer and insight! I truly appreciate it!
How often do you see people from A&F go into investment banking? The graduate report says the majority of them go into accounting, is that because they want to or have to?Last edited by Extensity; 04-08-2012 at 16:12.
