I’m interested in going into business, especially the financial side, because I study Business at school and enjoy working with numbers, analysing information and understanding how companies make financial decisions. I’m considering becoming a financial accountant or going into management for high-end car brands.

I’ve chosen this pathway because I like problem-solving and seeing how financial decisions impact real businesses. My strengths include organisation — I manage my tasks well and meet deadlines — and communication, as I can explain my ideas clearly, which is important when presenting financial information.

I’ve been researching accounting careers and attending virtual events with companies like PwC, Lloyds and BDO, which have given me more detailed information about the role. UCAS Day was also really helpful because it showed me the different qualifications and routes into finance, which helped me understand what I need to do next.

My next steps are to find a good company to work with and hopefully secure a placement, as well as completing an introductory accounting course to build my knowledge.

Maria Beigi – Business & Finance Pathway

I’m interested in something related to finance, possibly becoming an accountant. I’ve chosen this path because I want to gain practical experience while developing skills that are useful in many industries. I enjoy working with numbers and understanding how money is managed in real businesses. I’m also interested in how financial decisions are made and how they affect the success of an organisation. I like the idea of earning money while learning and gaining real-life experience instead of only studying in a classroom.

I believe I have strong attention to detail, good organisation, time management and clear communication skills. I’ve completed virtual experiences on Springpod and Unifrog activities related to business and employability. I’ve also researched different finance apprenticeships and their entry requirements. UCAS Day helped me understand the different routes available in finance.

My next step would be to watch a video or documentary about finance careers, such as “A Day in the Life of a Finance Apprentice.” One clear goal for the next 3–6 months is to complete an online finance course and build a small portfolio of notes and activities to support future apprenticeship applications.

I have chosen to pursue Biomedical Sciences because I’m interested in understanding the root causes of diseases rather than only treating the symptoms. Many science students go into medicine, but I want to focus on how illnesses develop and contribute to future medical breakthroughs.

UCAS Day helped me understand the different pathways within biomedical sciences and how universities structure their courses. To explore this career further, I’ve looked into different sub‑sections such as haematology and developed skills like precision and accuracy through my science subjects, especially chemistry.

My next steps are to continue researching universities, complete relevant activities on Unifrog, and revise consistently so I can work towards this pathway with confidence.
