Bath Finance and Accounting – Where do graduates end up?
Hi everyone,
I’ve received an offer for Finance and Accounting at the University of Bath and I’m currently trying to decide which uni to firm.
I have already asked this question for the University of Warwick and I was just wondering how it is at the University of Bath
I’d really appreciate it if anyone could share what Bath grads from this course tend to go on to do after graduating.
Are they getting into top firms like the Big 4, investment banks, or other areas in finance and accounting?
Also, how well does the course support things like internships or placement years?
Would love to hear any experiences or info
Thanks?

Hello BigFisher!
Congrats on your offer and its great to hear you're interested in Bath as one of your choices.
Discover uni has some nice snapshot stats on what our A&F graduates end up doing after uni and what they thought of the course. This is obviously representative of the whole cohort and will vary year on year but it should give you some idea. For example, 85% of our students according to this go on 15 months after graduation to work, 3/4 of which in high skilled professional financial work.
As for placement schemes, we have one of the best and most well-supported in the country. The huge majority of our courses offer versions with a year-long placement and there is a team of staff per faculty on hand to give you loads of support with finding one (application help, CV writing, interview technique - much more). The School of Management is also one of the best performing business schools in the UK and is especially well connected to industry. In your placement year you get the chance to do something fun and different for a year whilst earning money and getting some super-valuable professional experience for your CV which will set you apart from most other grads. Placement students have previously ended up at Goldman Sachs, Disney, AXA investment bankers, and Deloitte. Plus, if you get a placement at a certain company then this may act as a foot in the door for future employment should you want to return to that company after graduation - some companies have indeed asked placement students back to work after they graduate, although this varies placement to placement.
Bath is also a really nice place to be. Its one of the safest cities in the UK, has a very good pub/shopping scene and a few nightclubs/cocktail bars, green spaces, independent coffee houses and street food joints, and is full of very pretty Georgian architecture. The cost of living is higher than some other cities further North, but a lot of students live here and there is a lot of student accommodation available, and bus stops for the U1 direct to uni all over Bath.
I hope some of this helps, let us know if you have any more questions!
