Finance taster sessions and university support
These are a combination of academic and university support activities. Delivered by LSE’s leading academics and professionals in the field, the sessions cover different areas of finance and related fields. Students also receive support from our professional services team, including workshops on CV writing from LSE Careers and Critical Thinking sessions from LSE Life.
Residential conference
Pathways to Banking and Finance students from LSE, the University of Liverpool and the University of Warwick have the opportunity to come together to attend a summer residential conference at the University of Warwick. The conference provides students with an experience of university life, allowing them to meet other students and take part in in-depth finance related sessions.
If the conference is unable to happen in person at the University of Warwick, a virtual alternative will be provided.
Work experience
Pathways students will be able to apply for an insight programme at one of London’s leading financial service providers during Year 12 or Year 13. Insight Programmes normally take place during school holidays, and last year students undertook them at Deutsche Bank, NatWest, Glenmont Partners and Canyon Capital Advisors.
If insight programmes are unable to happen in person, a virtual alternative will be provided.
Mentoring
All students on Pathways to Banking and Finance are offered an undergraduate mentor studying a Finance related degree.
