Like Accountancy, Banking and Insurance, Finance is fast-paced and highly competitive, requiring applicants to be fast learners.

Graduates need to be sure that their covering letters and CVs are clear and concise, with no room for even the smallest errors.
Graduates can show strong interpersonal skills through previous experience involving written communications, team work or customer service.
