    Depending on your year of study yes all of our insight programmes and work experience have opportunity to be in person

    Do employers at EY favour Maths or any particular A levels for a field in finance. I don't have A level maths, hence the question.

  • Anonymous

    They do ask me in the application process what I got for Maths A-Level, but it could depend on what role you apply for.

    Also, I would really appreciate it if you could please share the link to insight programmes, especially the ones for which I can get a certificate.

    Oh ok, does EY consider UCAS points or or the A-level grades? Like A*A*A* has the same Total of UCAS points as AABB

  • Anonymous

    I don't think EY looks at UCAS points, that's mainly just universities. They mainly look at A-Levels or equivalent and the results of the exams you take during the application process.

    Work experience - did a 2 week placement in the finance division of a construction company, worked in school for a few weeks. To be honest the EY internship was the first big work experience I got!

    Did you do any work experience during your time at A-levels or volinteering ?

    Yes, I volunteered during my A-Levels at a British Heart Foundation charity shop

    I also tried to do extra curricular activities in school

    I think it's just good to try do extra things other than academics to show your skillset, even if you don't have loads of professional experience

    At university I also started and ran a vegetarian and vegan society that I talked about in my EY interview!
