Do i have to take 'accounting' at a-level to become an Accountant?
I have decided to take Maths at A-level, but not Accounting, so I was just wondering whether or not I have to take Accounting at A-level to do it as a degree at University.

Answer 1 :
Go to the website(s) of the university/univerisities that you're interested in and see their requirements, see if they need an accounting a level or not. They most likely do but there's a chance that they won't.
Answer 2 :
No! In fact accounting is seen as a 'weak' A level, in comparison to maths, English, languages, sciences etc, even when applying for a related course. Maths is perfect, and will be the only A level that uni's will specifically require for an accounting degree. To be honest a lot of schools don't even offer accounting at A level, so it couldn't be compulsory even if it was 'respected'. I can guarantee no university will ask for accounting specifically.
Answer 3 :
no... just check requirments out but not at all just do well in your alevels
Answer 4 :
It depends which country do you plan on attending university. I completed O`Levels with Principles of Accounting and then went straight to college in USA because in USA, high school is equivalent to O`Levels. Anyway, when I started college in USA, I had to start Accounting from scratch (the double-entry system). So, I am assuming if you plan to go to college in Britain, it should be the same thing. Just to make sure, you should double check with the college you plan to go to. You can check the course descriptions of the basic accounting classes.
