What do our students think?
"I really enjoyed taking part in this virtual work experience. Before completing it I was very confused on what type of jobs and roles there could be and if it would be something I would enjoy, but your programme really excited me and made me so much more confident in wanting to pursue a career under accounting and finance. Thank you so much I really appreciated all the time and effort you put into this. I definitely recommend it and it was extremely useful and helpful for me."
"What I enjoyed most about the virtual programme was getting a real insight into the world of accounting and the role of a chartered accountant. I liked how the tasks were practical and gave me a better understanding of the skills needed in the profession. It was also great to learn from real-life examples and explore whether this career path is right for me."
"Before this programme, I wasn't too sure about my career path and the route that I wanted to take. But this programme helped to reinforce what I wanted to do. Also, I am not taking a accounting degree so I wasn't sure about the opportunities that I would get, however, hearing student experiences helped me to realise that I could still make it into the industry. I found this programme very helpful. Thank you."
