Which University Is the Best for Accounting and Finance?

I'm planning to take Accounting and Finance as my university degree next year and I want to take the placement year/industrial year too.
My choices are: Warwick, Leeds, Durham, Manchester, and Exeter
So can you tell me which one is the best university in the UK for Accounting and Finance also can you tell me about the rankings? Thank you.

Hi there :hello:,

As you have mentioned Manchester, let us know if you are interested in our Accounting and Finance course and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Just to let you know, our Accounting and Finance course comes with a placement or overseas study option, which many students take as it is an invaluable opportunity to develop new skills and get hands-on experience in your field of specialisation.

Do you take maths a level? I’d also look at Loughborough and bath as they have very strong year in industry departments.

Sadly, no. I'm an international student from Indonesia and I don't go to an international school. Therefore, I have to take the foundation year before getting into university to get the same qualifications.

Cool. It’s worth checking the views of people in countries you may wish to work in post graduation to see if there is any perception difference. There isn’t really a ranking for a+f in the uk - the above universities would all be around the same level.

Warwick may have an edge for banking type jobs.

Hi @janelle42

I wouldn't worry as you only applied one week ago and our normal processing time from application to an offer being made is approximately 4 - 5 weeks. Due to the Christmas break, you will most likely have a response mid-end of January.

Best of luck to you! :h:
