Discover Accounting and Finance at Edge Hill

Edge Hill student Phoebe shares their experience studying on one of our Accounting and Finance courses. Combining a strong knowledge of accounting practices with the skills needed to help businesses succeed, our courses allow you to gain the experience you need through our professional networks.

During my second year of study, I completed a module which ensured that all students had an opportunity to gain valuable first-hand experience in the sector of their choice. Without this module I would not have completed my nine-month paid work placement at ‘Pennington Silver Chartered Accountants’ in Southport.

I had access to a variety of resources through careers such as the opportunity to have a practice interview. This prepared me for interviews with the big four accountancy firms.

My favourite thing about studying accountancy at Edge Hill was the lecturers. They were always willing to provide time to help with any applications and interviews and evidently invested in the futures of their students.
