Do you need to be studying Accounting/Economics or Finance at university to get a job in banking?


Front-end banking jobs offer..


🤩 High job satisfaction

🤩 Interesting and meaningful work

🤩 Significantly higher financial compensation


So many of the students I speak to believe that unless they studied finance at uni, they stand no chance of breaking into banking.


That is categorically not true as a significant proportion of students who take our longer courses have no prior experience in banking.


Many if these students went on to work for prestigious names such a as Goldman Sachs, UBS, JP Morgan, Fidelity and many more.


Getting a job in banking is about ticking 6 boxes..


✅ Decent A-levels

✅ Quant/Math skills

✅ Strong Communication

✅ Past internships in banking

✅ Technical knowledge of banking

✅ Commercial Awareness


That's it! 🏌️


Candidates who take our courses are able to fill in four of the six boxes above - which most students struggle with.


I have seen students from top universities give up on their dream of breaking into banking because they were not able to handle technical/commercial awareness questions in the interview.


It's not their fault, it's just that most students don't realize how much preparation is involved to get a job in banking.


That's exactly why we have a 90% success rate on our 8-week course.


In fact many students who do end up taking finance do not get a job in banking as they soon realise that the theory they picked up at University is far from the practice in the real world.
