## Finance Careers

The finance sector covers a wide range of careers many of which are open to graduates of any degree. Many of them have formal graduate entry procedures and training programmes, often leading to professional qualifications.

Other careers are in more specialist areas where entry is less defined, there isn't a set application process and opportunities have to be sought out proactively.

Often, entry is at a basic employee level where experience is gained, which then leads to opportunity to work your way up and apply for more senior positions. To find out more about each career, please click on the links below.
