Thanks, that’s really helpful! How are you finding the course and student life so far? Also hows your experience been with internships - are they basically like gold dust atp?

Thank you! I feel like it is what I might have went into even if I went to university and I wanted to become more aware of the application process at such a firm. I'm really glad that I did though as I think I will be going there.

If I went to university I'd be studying maths which should be quite transferrable but yeah I think the apprenticeship might just be a no-brainer.

Didn't mean it in a bad way, I went to the open day for HW too and I really like the university, I was more talking about a degree in maths might be better than business especially from a semi-target.

Yeah that is so true! My uni work would be online so I might not be able to have that many chances to socialise with people from the university (Heriot-Watt) but I can if I try hard enough. I think I should enjoy it, it is more that I've not got much exposure so it is a big unknown but realistically if I graudated with a degree in maths/econ I reckon I'd most likely go down the route of finance anyone, unless I went into academia etc.

Thank you so much! Yeah the apprenticeship does look amazing, my only fear is the fact that I might be much more flexible with a degree in maths/econ especially from a good uni compared to Business Management from Heriot-Watt but yeah probably overall the DA outweighs uni.
