See my answer to this question - http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=A0WTc71T67VGVYgA5gIvCAx.?qid=20070805054004AAcTg5B I know I should type a full answer out for you but I'm quite tired, but while the top universites listed are law specific most of the rest is generic and applys to your situation as well (LSE is also a good university for accounting and finance courses). You need good academic subjects that you will be able to perform well in. Even if you do not plan to go down the direct full-time degree route A-levels have the same significance - people see grades not subjects. I can't say what you should pick, I do not know what subjetcs you are capaple of getting good grades in and that is the most important thing. From whats listed I would suggest yout best choices would come from: Mathematics; English lit; Economics; [Accounting, Law] - one not both; Computing or ICT could also be helpful with a lot of Accountancy requiring computing work; if you do plan to go to university to get a degree first then you could find either French or Spanish helpful.
Answer 4 :
If you want to become an accountant then you can study any A-levels you like. It is not like studying to be a doctor where you need to take science A-levels. Also if you go on to university it will not matter which degree subject you choose. However, given that you have shown an interest in Business and Accountancy then I would suggest the following: English Language/Literature Economics or Business Studies Maths. If you want to take an additional A-level then just choose a subject you are interested in. Again, if you go to university then it would make sense to study Accountancy. Firstly because it will help you decide whether you actually enjoy the subject and secondly it will enable you to gain exemptions from your accountancy exams. As for myself I gained three A-levels (AAB) in Economics, Maths and English. I obtained my degree in Accountancy and Finance (2.1) at the London School of Economics and I then chose the ACCA route to becoming a chartered accountant because it is a qualification which allows for more international mobility.
Answer 5 :
No list found However these days it is advised to get a reasonable degree in almost any subjects - then you take a one year conversion course. Get into "uni" (a three year course that you might enjoy), take the conversion course, and "hey presto" you can, if you pass (which many do) become an accountant. Caution: Make sure you really want to be an accountant. You may well, as I did , prefer industry to practice. Be prepared for the first 5-8 years to be, in a word, "boring" but after that both interesting and (importantly) lucrative, From "O" levels only, and after five year articles in a rural practice, I ended with a salary, (in industry, at today's values of £260000) - enough to retire comfortably on - I'm sure that you will agree!. Please supply a list of A levels and I will try to help but, in the end, choose those that you can achieve the best marks in - irrespective of any apparent relevance to your future ambitions.
