Accounting and finance, Software engineering or chemical engineering?

With which a levels and what grades?

I can get into all via clearing
I studied maths, biology and chemistry and got three B’s

Wow - that’s a tough one. Which motivate you? I don’t think any are degrees I would want to risk without being pretty motivated.
Do you like coding? Do you really enjoy maths? Chem eng has a lot of it.

Need advice on which options the best to take in uni

I do really enjoy maths and I’ve not had much experience with coding. However, all three are things I’m willing to study im curious about the best option for future career paths after uni

Hi,
What are you most interested in and what are you looking to do after graduating? Are you thinking of working in a specific field?
All three are interesting degrees with a lot of further study and career prospects, so it depends on your personal strengths, interests and aspirations.
In my first year at Lancaster University, I studied Accounting and Finance as a minor, while doing my Computer Science degree, so I perhaps could offer some insight into the Software Engineering and Accounting & Finance courses, if you'd like.🙂

Chem Eng is probably the broadest degree so far as future careers are concerned. It opens up engineering fields and has a LOT of maths content which can be helpful for IT and finance related fields amongst others if you decide not to go the engineering route.
It’s a famously tough degree though.

Hi Polina, yes I’d most likely try to work on the specific field I graduate in and I’d greatly appreciate any insight you could provide me to the two courses

Hi,
In my experience, Computer Science (and Software Engineering) is quite a flexible and engaging degree. It seems to be the least theoretical out of the three degrees, however that varies depending on the university and course (e.g. Software Engineering at Lancaster has a lot of hands-on practical and group work, where you build actual applications and software).
Accounting and Finance is a bit less flexible than Software Engineering, and more maths-heavy. It is also a very interesting degree, which covers quite a broad range of topics. I personally found my Accounting and Finance modules more difficult than the Computer Science ones, however I really enjoyed them. The degree also involves a lot more independent reading, study, and writing.
Overall, both courses are going to give you a lot of opportunities after graduation, not only in the respective fields but also across multiple industries (thanks to them both being considered "numerical" degrees).
Have a think about what you enjoyed at A-levels and have a look through the course contents for each option at different universities: are there any modules that pique your interest or cause dread?
Perhaps you could also attend some insight events/webinars and do research to learn more about the career routes and what they entail, to assist you with the decision.
Hope this helps and let me know if you've got any questions 🙂
