Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

worth doing this degree?

[h="1"]BA (Honours) International Finance and Investment[/h]
http://www.shu.ac.uk/prospectus/course/1074/

Its at sheffield hallam, I know its not the best Uni, but they do go out of the way to help you. For example offering maths classes and advanced excel classes.

according to this only 10% are unemployed.

My other alternative is doing a Accounting degree at uni of Sheffield.

You don't need to go to University to work in accountancy - look at a apprenticeship - https://apprenticeshipvacancymatchingservice.lsc.gov.uk/navms/Forms/Candidate/Apprenticeships.aspx All will lead to a recognised qualification in accountancy and allow you to be earning from day 1, rather than gaining massive debt. Its also a good way to find out if you actually like accountancy as a job. You could always go to University later if you decide this is what you want to do and, with this experience, probably a better Uni than Sheffield Hallam. You don't have to go to Uni straight from school!

The other 90% might just be working in mcdonnalds graduate employment statistics are a bit useless if you don't know what work they are doing/what they are paid

Things like this aren't 'essential' I guess but all you got to think is, do u wanna experience uni life? Will u enjoy the course? And check the employment rate and careers of its students afterwards. If its satisfying then I say go for it! However, only point I'd say is I don't think that uni is very good so if you are predicted/have good grades I say go for a better one like sheffield uni. Good luck x

You can get a good career in accounting and law via apprenticeships.

AAT (something like that) for accounting
ILEX for law
