What type of university would you like? Size of city/ location/ campus based for example. Have you looked into Flying Start degrees and ACA apprenticeships?

Uni of york and city University are great ones that don't require a level maths. I'd say although York is a Russel group, City is better for accounting & finance since it has the whole bayes business school as part of the university.

I'm sure there's more , but these are the ones ik

Hey there,

It’s great that you’re studying Accounting, Business, and Economics as those are very relevant A-levels for an Accounting and Finance degree. If you’re looking for a university that values this combination, I’d definitely recommend London South Bank University (LSBU).

Our BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance course is accredited by ACCA, CIMA, and ICAEW, meaning you can gain exemptions from professional exams while you study. Your A-levels align really well with the course, and LSBU typically looks for applicants with business-related subjects, so your choices are a strong fit. We also offer a foundation year if you need more flexibility with entry routes.

At LSBU, the course is career-focused, with options for a placement year and opportunities to work on case studies. Plus, 89% of LSBU Accounting and Finance graduates are in work or further study within 15 months (Graduate Outcomes Survey 2020/21), which shows the strong outcomes we’re proud of.

Here is a link about the course in more depth - https://www.lsbu.ac.uk/study/course-finder/certhe-accounting-and-finance

Do keep an eye on our website, as our October Open Day will be live soon, and it’s a great chance to visit the campus, meet lecturers, and explore your course options.

Your A levels in Accounting, Business, and Economics are an excellent choice, as they’re highly relevant to this degree and will give you a solid foundation.

I'm Akshita, a third-year BSc Business Management with Placement Student at the University of Southampton, and I'm happy to share my insights about studying here to help you make an informed decision.

The University of Southampton is ranked 87 on the QS World University Rankings 2026 and has a highly ranked and reputable Accounting & Finance Course. You can find detailed information about the entry requirements of the course here. This course gives you a strong foundation in accounting, finance, and investment while also giving you the option to explore exciting areas like banking, marketing, HR, or project management. With industry links, guest lectures, placement opportunities, and professional exam exemptions, it’s a great mix of theory, real-world experience, and career preparation.

A great thing about the course is that it offers a diverse range of module choices, allowing students to personalise their module selection and learn about topics that interest them. You can find detailed information about the module choices for each year here. Additionally, you can also consider the study abroad or placement degree options as these opportunities can greatly enhance your CV and provide valuable work experience, which will strengthen your employability prospects.

Personally, I found the business management course to be incredibly rewarding as it has a well-rounded approach, combining theoretical knowledge with practical cases and real-world applications. The coursework and exams are designed in a way to help students gain practical knowledge and experience. The lectures are taught by seasoned professors that carry a wealth of experience. This always makes me excited to attend lectures, knowing I will leave with new insights and perspectives.

Beyond academics, the university provides students access to a wide range of opportunities and activities that can help them gain work experience and develop essential skills. Whether it’s on-campus jobs, enterprise events, recruiter fairs, training programs, or internships, there is something for everyone! I was a student ambassador and a peer leader, and I found it to be a great way to make some amazing new friends and earn money, all while balancing it with academics.

Personally, I am really enjoying my time here as the student life is extremely fun and exciting. Southampton is a lively and student-friendly with good connectivity to London and other cities. The university has a vibrant campus with green spaces and beautiful gardens. Southampton University Students' Union is extremely active and offers students numerous events, clubs and societies (over 400), ranging from academic clubs to ones related to sports, hobbies or culture. I am a part of many different societies, namely Women in Business, Fish on Toast, Indian Society and Kickboxing. Joining such societies helped me gain confidence, develop new skills and also expand my social circle.

I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any questions and I will be happy to answer them!

All the best,
Akshita
