Which book to read?
Hey I'm in Year 12 and want to get into university and study finance. Are there any books that I can read to help build my knowledge which I can also put in my personal statement as a supercurricular activity I did.

Hi,
I suggest searching for different universities that you are interested in applying to with the search 'Undergraduate Finance reading list' next to their names. Some universities have dedicated web pages of book recommendations for offer holders, and this can be a great place to find university-recommended books.
https://www.kcl.ac.uk/business/assets/pdf/offer-holder-reading-list.pdf
https://www.swansea.ac.uk/som/schools-engagement/accounting-and-finance-guide/accounting-and-finance-reading-list/#books=is-expanded
Here are two examples from two different universities. Have a look through the books they suggest or search the lists up from a university of your choice 🙂
Hope this helps!
