Degree/Personal Statement Dilemma

Hi,
I wish to study accounting and finance at degree level. However, I have the ability to go to oxbridge, but they don't offer that course, but Ive heard oxbridge allow you to create another personal statement, which is directed at the course you want to study there. So if I apply for accounting and finance at 4 Universities and direct my actual P.S around accounting and finance, can I still apply for Chemistry at oxbridge and just direct the separate P.S they offer you for chemistry.

You only have the option to write an extra personal statement for Cambridge, not for Oxford.

Cambridge don't offer 'chemistry'; you have to take Natural Sciences instead, which includes chemistry.

Why don't you apply for economics instead though? Surely that's more similar to A and F then chemistry.

As mentioned by others you use the SAQ to provide an additional Personal Statement for Cambridge. It's a common thing to do for Cambridge applications.

And, in addition to considering Economics instead of Chemistry, you could also look at the Management Studies Tripos option at Cambridge.

e.g. you could apply to NatSci (there's no Chemistry course at Cambridge) or Economics for Part I and then transfer to Management Studies.

But the main thing to consider is which course do you *actually* want to study. There's no point applying to Cambridge just for the "name", you must *really* want to study a specific course, and then identify the most appropriate university that offers that course.

Also, if you are doing all this with a view to a career in Finance/IB be aware your actual degree subject doesn't really matter. A&F isn't by any means a preferred course for IB.

If I applied for natural sciences for part 1 and then transferred to Managent Studies for part 2, what degree would I get?

Like nearly every Cambridge grad you simply get a BA. Your degree certificate doesn't mention the course/subject at all.

Your transcript will have full details of your modules though.

I think for simplicity though you would say you had a BA (Hons) Management Studies on your CV.

Thank you, I appreciate the help. Just one more quick question. If I did that how long would I be studying at Cambridge for?

Also it’s the most competitive course at Cambridge.
