Does it really matter where you obtain an Accounting and finance degree from?

I want to study at Manchester Met but I am aware that its not the best uni in terms of ranking or prestige. I have less than average a levels however i am looking to make up for it by doing a placement year and joining the accounting societies etc. What I mean to say is, will studying at MMU ruin my future job prospects or is it about how hard i work and my work experience?

Most schemes will stipulate a 2:1 entry requirement, they won't discriminate on the university. I've worked with people in the same grad cohort with degrees from Oxford and other universities which aren't viewed in the same class.

No it won't impact your future job prospects if you're looking to get into accounting and finance. Your plans for a placement and joining societies are spot on. I'd also suggest going to insight days or work experience weeks at the Big 4 / Top 10 to get ahead.

It could go either way tbh I think you may be okay as a lot of firms are now moving away from a level requirements and focussing more on assessments at the application stage. But I wouldn’t recommend holding out on that, do your a level exams in first year of uni. Try to improvise to a BBB overall.

Tbh I agree with you but my advice was just to ensure you covered all eventualities.
