Lancaster Vs York

My daughter currently has the same dilemma albeit she is doing Economics and Finance.
Whilst I cannot give any advice on this for locations, I see Lancaster offering less optional module choices than York, but they offer certain modules not available at most Russell groups.
The issue which all students faced with this particular choice of establishment is they only hear from current or former alumni and is hugely biased.
What Styffy said is not strictly true. They care very much about where you have been as it is an industry which relies on who you know. My wife knows this firsthand as she has worked at numerous investment banks/managers and VC's.
As an example of research, think of the role which you would like to do following university, search for people on linkedin in that role and look at the university attended. 3 years of studying may change the idea of what you would like to do professionally and it is worth the market research.
I would also add that you must do as much internship during summer holidays. This may give you a slight agldvantage over others whom decide not to. This will build your network.

Hi, i’m conflicted at the moment between two unis. Lancaster University and University Of York. I want to study Finance at Lancaster and Accounting and Finance at York. After i’m done with my degree do employers care more about rankings or if the uni is a russell group uni. These two unis are relatively close on the ranking system across most, however, lancaster usually sits above it, whilst York is a russell group uni. I mainly wanna know which one is more desired in the field of finance and if it matters to which one i got to? What do you think is the better choice?

When it comes to finance it wont make mush of a difference between the two. Read the modules at both unis and see which one appeals best. When it comes to internships, strategically you have nearby liverpool and manchester so they are commutable. my eldest did physics at Lancaster and now is at uni of Manchester. She enjoyed her time at Lancaster, and she did choose that uni over York. I think she would have had a great time at either, but accommodation was cheaper and course for her was better at physics. plus her department was very supportive of work experience. Theres a chat to the students https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/study/chat/ for Lancaster so you could ask about the support they got. Theres a couple under accounting and finance.
