Hi @Carson30!
If you haven't already I would also search social media (Facebook etc.) for any Lancaster freshers group chats! I would recommend searching for both your course, the colleges and any general 2022/2023 chats you can find.
Hopefully you can find a welcoming group of people soon!

Best wishes,
Eloise

When I originally applied to Lancaster i applied for the physics course and studied that for two years, however I am restarting I October in the finance course. Because I switched internally I didn’t write a personal statement for finance/accounting

Hi,

Normally we have a course called "quantitative methods for accounting and finance" during the first year of study. It will include topics like functions, differentiation, integration, etc. They are not that hard, so please don't worry about it.

Hope this helps :smile:
