How hard is it to get into these three industries without a degree from a Russell Group university?

Large accounting firms don't really look much at universities attended. Until very recently they were very 'A' level driven. This could give the false impression that Russel group universities were favored - but only because people with high grades tend to go to them. I've know plenty of people get in from former polytechnics. The generally had opportunities to go elsewhere but chose a place that suited.

The firms seem to be moving more towards their own assessment tests as a first filter. There are some threads on here about this.

Why dont you look at the requirements of the other firms - as I said above at least 2 have moved away from required A level grades. Alternatively get some entry level job and take ACCA is thats what you want to do.
