Finance Job with this degree?

Do you think I can get into a good banking/finance job with a:
BSc Business with Finance from Bayes (cass) Business School?

Of course you can. If you got yourself some decent A-Levels under your belt plus the degree - you'll be right as rain.

Google is your friend. (As is YouTube) - look up the different places that offer what you're looking for.

Check out the requirements and apply. Post reads like someone who hasn't started the course yet - there should be taster/meet the bank style events for people at your stage (and first years').

They should give you a decent insight into the different banks and it can inform your search for placements and summer schemes.

I know that Lloyds Banking Group and Natwest Group both do events like these.

Yep, doing a BTEC instead of A levels and predicted a D*D*D*, I was looking to do a degree apprenticeship instead of this but it’s too competitive and I might just go for this course in september

hi mate, sorry for the delay in reply, so i enrolled onto that course last september but I kept applying to apprenticeships for this year even once i started uni last year. I applied and got into a Marketing Apprentice position at Amazon 2 months ago, and I dropped out of uni in early March 2025. Hope that helps, wish you all the best, any other qs do let me know!

I’m thinking of enrolling into uni aswell then dropping out how would you think this would go. Because I have to pay for accommodation too.

**** im so sorry for the delayed reply bro, barely ever go on here
theres no point bro if you're planning to drop out anyways because you'll just have a debt for no reason at all, you might as well take a gap year to reassess things
acccom + fees costs will be a lot, mine was just fees as I commuted to uni during the months I was there.
Any other qs do lmk
