Careers in Finance, Accounting or Business
I'm currently in year 12 studying Economics, Geography and Biology, I've realised I want to go into accounting, finance or business in the future but I have not got Alevel Maths(I know now that I should have took it), what jobs can I do?
Please help.

I dont know much about the requirements for jobs in that area but for degrees you can still do a business degree without maths a level

Not every uni/job requires maths for finance. Alternatively, you could try getting a degree apprenticeship since they usually have no subject requirements.

Although you might be slightly disadvantaged, it isn't that big of a deal since the level of maths you use in accounting is pretty low. If you're planning on studying accounting at university though, try applying for a foundation year first or something idk.
Hello there!
As you would like to go into Accounting, Finance, or Business, not having A-Level Maths won’t necessarily limit your options.
In finance, roles like banking, financial planning, and risk analysis focus more on practical applications, so your Economics A-Level will be very useful.
For business-related careers, fields like management, consulting, HR, and marketing don’t require Maths, however they value strategic thinking and problem-solving skills.
I believe, a great option is BSc Accounting and Finance at Coventry University, which includes practical learning and industry placements.

If you prefer a broader path, BA Business Management keeps your options open.

To strengthen your application, consider internships, online finance courses, or professional qualifications in order to gain industry-relevant skills.
I hope this helps!
Good luck!
