Probably best to look at universities and their general requirements. It is usually complicated at first to understand but you should easily spot what it says.

For the most part, I don't think a business degree would require any specific subjects, however, it would probably be useful to study one or more of these at Alevel:

Maths
Business
Economics
Sociology
History
IT

However, the most important thing is to choose something you enjoy/ will motivate you.

You could apply to do work experience at either some local firms or larger ones: Ernest Young and PWC. This would give you an insight into the job as well as experience which would greatly help your application.

You could also try MOOC's (Massive Open Online courses) or try out your own business venture: Upselling things in eBay idk.

It may be an asset to be part of the school council or perhaps head boy/girl as this would demonstrate teamwork and leadership.

Hope this helps

Hey there!
So pleased to hear you're considering applying to Kent :smile: I'd definitely recommend checking out the course information page for Business Management as it outlines the entry requirements and any particular A-levels that you may need to get in. As far as I am aware, Kent don't ask for any particular A-levels but you may find the transition easier if you took a related A-level.
Here's the link to the course page - Business Management
You can also search for other related courses as well - Undergraduate courses

I hope that this helps! If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask :smile:

Thanks I'll make sure to check out the A-levels. I do have one more question though, is it hard to get in?
