sponsored accountancy degrees

I spoke with two firms last week who urged students to apply early for sponsored degrees.  Write an email now to recieve warning of when aplpiations open, generally August of year 12 before year 13 begins.  Each firm gives a choice of 3 very good universities for part time study and part time employment, without the huge debts other students will face.
