AS/A2 Levels needed to become an accountant +rep

[JACKTARD]

Yeah, well I want to be an accountant because I'm good at maths and dare I say it - I kinda like it! Or at least the satisfaction of getting a correct answer when getting a mahoosive question right.

But anyway, I was wondering what Quals I would ideally need to go onto do it after A Levels/Uni. For AS Level I've taken Mathematics, Physics, Business Studies, French and we also do General, My target's are A's and Maths/Physics I got A* at GCSE.

+reps,
thanks.

Accounts is usually a good subject to take if your college/6th form do it.

If yoy've already started the AS courses then I would say just stick with them for A2 as well. If not then like SamLouise has said you might want to try and swap maths or something like that for it.

im sure u'd need maths, if anything, swap french

[JACKTARD]

yeah, we have to drop something for A2 so I'll probably drop french

At A2 after we dropped a lesson, we had the option to pick up an AS instead of doing either General Studies or Extended Project so if you can do that if you can't swap your lessons now and then you'll still have at least an AS in accounts.

Business could be seen as to be worth the least of the four. You'll need maths to go into accounting, languages are very very good to have, and any science is seen as a good qualification.
Anyway if it was me I would drop bussiness. (its probably good to have to go into accounting but I dout you actually need it to get into uni)

[Ajthedragon]

I'd drop french. You have some good A-levels to work with, even if you decide not to become an accountant!

[Toasten]

I'd actually drop Business Studies because it's on the 'soft' list. But i guess you might need some experience if you want to be an accountant. Not sure it is a requirement though.

You have to have maths and economics helps because my best mate did it at university and now she helps me so much with my AS/A2 economics because she had to do it all at uni. Also if there is something like Certificate/Diploma in Finical Studies at your college/sixth form then do it because it's an extra that makes you stand out :-)!
