Many are based in the City or Canary Wharf, and although there are opportunities available elsewhere, graduates wanting to pursue a career in Finance should be prepared to relocate to the capital if they want to work with the big Financial institutions.
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.
