Answer 4 :
Ok so XxMiniLovexX you may think that it’s a good idea to do accounting at a- levels but it isn’t required for the course at uni and most universitys don’t hold it as a credible qualification (like photography/ p.e) All you actually need is math, but bear in mid that subjects like, history, English lit, and the sciences are very desirable If I were you I would do Math, English lit(analytical skills and improve vocabulary), and history( because it shows you have knowledge beyond current affairs).as a fourth subject either do economics because there is also a lot of math involved or something you really enjoy, even if its art or music. You don’t need science at all but I think other people are suggesting it because it is a credible subject and it will help if you decide that you want to do actuarial science instead it is similar to accounting and doesn’t actually include much science but a lot of math and it pays VERY well. I am an A level student I study chemistry, biology, math and English, eng and bio are really fun, maths is boring and chemistry is really really hard. Have a look on the LSE university website, the course is accounting and finance
