Programmes
Pathway roadmap
A 1:1 session mapping your route: which degrees and universities firms recruit from, which deadlines matter, and what to do in each year.
Spring week & internship applications
CV development, application reviews and cover letter feedback for spring weeks, insight days and summer internships.
Interview & assessment preparation
Practice for competency, motivational and technical interviews, plus the online tests and assessment centres firms actually use.
How we work
Start early
The students who win spring weeks knew the deadlines in September. We make sure that's you.
Realistic routes
Not everyone needs a target-school degree. We'll show you the routes that fit your actual position.
Taught by doing
Real applications, real mock interviews, real feedback, no generic careers advice.
Questions, answered
Is this for school students or university students?
Both. School students get early guidance on subjects, degrees and universities; university students get application and interview support for specific opportunities.
Which careers does this cover?
Investment banking, asset management, consulting, accounting and related City careers. If you're not sure which fits you, that's exactly what the roadmap session is for.
Do I need to study a finance degree?
No, firms recruit from a wide range of degrees. We'll give you an honest view of how your subject choices affect your options.
What does it cost?
Fees depend on the programme and are confirmed by email when you register interest. There's no commitment at this stage.
Register interest
Hear first when Finance Pathway opens
Dates, venues and fees are sent to the interest list before each cohort opens. Registering is free and doesn't commit you to anything.
