BSc Real Estate (Investment & finance in property)

Business Analytics will allow him to work in any sector,
real estate/finance & investment BSc will ring fence him to real estate/finance,
if he dislikes accounting/finance courses, he is out of luck real estate/finance & investment has a significant amount of it

Thanks for the reply; he doesn’t dislike A&F because it’s the finance side he’s interested in- but it’s the accounting side he’s not so interested in. He doesn’t want to be an accountant so seems daft to spend half his degree studying it. But the concern about business analytics is that it’s too heavily tech biased, with programming etc, which also isn’t his main area of interest. He would like to do a pure finance course but without MathsALevel or GCSE grade 7 (he has a 6) he can’t get into finance courses. So we’re a bit stuck. It’s so complicated to know which way to guide him - and he doesn’t seem to know himself either.

One can go into finance with any degree realistically, except for a small range of very quantitative roles (which mostly recruit engineers, physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists anyway). However note that for investment banking it's critical to go to a target university, which neither is. I believe Reading is pretty strong in the real estate/planning/quantity surveying realm generally however, although this may not make a difference if it's not of interest.
