Bsc Accounting and Finance

Recently, I’ve been thinking about university choices and I was wondering which universities in UK are the best for this subject, with a good reputation amongst employees and good internships schemes and career helps.

Also wondering if number of exemptions from ACCA/ ICAEW exams is a big factor? I heard big4 companies don’t allow you to take exemptions and force you to take every single exam.

Please help me out!! Thanks in advance

(Btw, I accidentally posted this on clearing and UCAS and applications instead of accounting and finance)
