My personal statement is solely based on Accounting but I'm applying for A&F

Is it okay if my personal statement is mainly about accounting or should I tailor it to make it more business/finance-related?

I applied for just Accountancy for one of my unis, but the rest are for Accounting & Finance.

Have you asked your universities this?

Just to be sure - which universities are you applying to for A+F?

By and large when universities in England have a course called ‘accounting and finance’ it’s an accounting degree rather than a finance degree with a few accounting modules. This is different to someone in the US doing dual honours in accountancy and finance.

Some courses in the U.K. are somewhat outside the norm so worth considering the specific ones you are applying to.
