Business is not a required A level for ANY degree course.
If you check the entry requirements for Business degree courses, you will see that most don't specify any A level subjects - examples :
Cardiff - Business Management (BSc) - Study - Cardiff University - AAB-BBB - plus GCSE English (4) and GCSE Maths (6)
Essex - BSc Business Management - Business Management Degree | University of Essex - BBB-BBC - plus GCSE English (4)

Hi @Raza abbas!

As mentioned above at the University of Essex we do not expect you to have studied a Business A Level in order to apply for our BSc Business Management or BSc Business Administration and Supply Chain Management courses.

I think one of the most important things to think about when choosing your A Level subjects is considering which subjects really interest you and fit with your future goals. As you'll be studying A Levels across two years it is worthwhile to consider which subjects you think you will enjoy and do well in💫

Best of luck in your A Level choices ☘️

If you have any questions about studying Business at Essex, please do let me know!

Hi @Raza abbas,

I was in a similar position to yourself when picking my A-levels. Personally I did politics, geography and psychology at A-level. Additionally I had never done any sort of business qualification before university, however I am now doing a business and management degree.

What you will find is most business courses don't require specific A-levels, instead they require certain grades/ UCAS points.

I hope this helps, please feel free to ask me and questions,
-Sophia (Business and Management)
