Accounting VS Finance,你選哪個?

此F4是指留學四大熱門專業金融、會計、管理和經濟

簡稱FAME

當然,也可以大致概括為——商科

歷來都是出國留學的熱門專業

其中,又屬會計和金融最為受歡迎

出國留學,讀會計還是讀金融呢?

課程結構

其實,會計與金融的主要區別在於,會計的關注點相對狹窄,而金融則是範圍廣泛的,涵蓋了商業、經濟和銀行業等領域的一系列專業化的知識。金融專業的學生可能會更加註重金融策略和管控,而會計專業的學生則更加關注專業的原則和過程。

職業潛力和就業方向

會計和金融工作都離不開企業的財務報表,會計會解釋最後大表的每個條目隱藏的信息是什麼,而金融則是根據這些信息制定產品,評估公司的盈利能力和風險。

申請要求

對比金融和會計這兩個專業,其實對申請者的本科背景都有一定的要求,但是相對來講,會計的要求更嚴格,尤其是在Top 50院校的會計項目中,絕大部分都會要求申請者是會計、金融、或其他商科背景,至少要修過幾門基礎的會計課程,比如財務會計、管理會計、宏微觀經濟學。

從各個院校的錄取數據可以看出,每年錄取的學生專業背景,理工科背景的佔比不會超過10%,有的甚至連5%都不到。

一般申請條件:

金融:GPA:3.2+;IBT: 90+; GMAT: 680+,學校活動,實習,與專業相關的學術論文及研究經歷等。

會計:GPA3.0+; IBT:90+;GMAT 650+。一般錄取時要求學生有相關的會計方面的先修課程,名校要求會更高。
