What can I do with an A-level in Business?

You can go on to university courses like an honours degree in Business Administration or related subjects, or choose to start up your own business at any period of your career.

The skills learned by studying business opens up a wide range of career paths to the now expanding international business market. Professional grade jobs such as accounting, financial and business analyst, risk management, quantitative finance in investment banks and more, would all require a business undergraduate and/or postgraduate degree with a relevant major. (Business Administration or related degrees typically consist of major choices related to Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Operations Management, Information Systems, Human Resources, etc., which all require a Business A-Level as a prerequisite to apply for)

For more information on specific university requirements related to A-levels, please see our A-levels FAQ page.

For more information on applying to UK universities, see our UCAS page.

If you are an international student taking A-levels the basic offer is made for 3 A-level subjects. It is very important when choosing these subjects that you understand what options you will have for university when the time comes. ITS has a long-established, highly experienced counselling team who can help you make these decisions and plan your academic course. But to start with, try out this excellent tool from the Russel Group which helps you experiment with your subject choices. Then come and see us.
