Can I get into investment banking with an Accounting and Finance degree?

You do have some element of micro and macro in the second year. Check the module guide.
Economics of Strategy
Understand fundamental concepts in micro and macroeconomics, as relevant for the study of strategic decisions of firms. Develop a range of appropriate analytical skills, including descriptive, graphical and elementary mathematical methods used in the economic analysis of strategy. Develop your capacity to apply analytical techniques to real world business problems and strategy choices.

Hello.

I'm thinking about applying to Warwick's Accounting and Finance (with Foundation Year) course, simply because it's a target uni and the modules sound pretty good. My only worry is that because it doesn't cover economics, only finance, I wouldn't qualify for most of the internships or graduate city jobs.

Yes

Most likely, I just landed a summer internship and I study Physics - if in the interviews and motivational questions you can show your genuine passion for IB you'll be fine imo. I think most don't really discriminate on degree choice to be honest with you, if you check the requirements it says they dont mind the degree type but usually 2:1 and above

a&f is commonplace in the indsutry, given you'll work with a lot of accounting/finance information.

Economics is hyped too much. 95% of what you learn from the degree will not be useful on the job. The reason for the hype around Economics is because of the student culture in the UK. Sit with Econ students at UCL/LSE and the conversation will turn to summer internships/banking within 15 mins.

Whereas a degree in Accounting is incredibly transferable on a practical note, especially if you take up modules in financial accounting.

I'll keep that in mind if I get an offer. Thanks very much for the info

Hi, I'm currently at the same position that you were at 4 years ago. If you don't mind me asking did you get a job in the banking sector and did you get the offer. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks.
