What super curricular activities should I be doing??

I’m currently in year 12 and hoping to pursue a career in accounting. My school just had a UCAS day and I’ve only just found out about super curricular activities. I’m not sure what super curricular activities are suited for accounting. Any ideas??

Hello!
Super curricular activities don't have to be large activities, they can simply be extra things you are doing to show your interest in the course you are applying for. Some examples could be, reading books or doing MOOCs on the subject that you could talk about in your personal statement. If you have the time or resources, some work experience would be very valuable so you have some confirmation this is definitely the subject you want to go into, it also shows the university you really enjoy the subject and would be happy studying it.

Hope this helps,
