Top Universities Warn Against Business and Accounting A-levels
From the BBC, “Pupils warned A-levels unsuitable”, 23 August 2006:
“Pupils are being advised to avoid taking certain A-level subjects if they want to get places at top universities. Subjects less favoured […] include accounting, business studies, film studies, media studies and travel and tourism.”
From the London School of Economics and Political Science’s “How to Apply” page:
“Mathematics, French and Economics would be a suitable combination for almost any of our degrees. Mathematics, French and Business would be acceptable, but we would prefer the first example. On the other hand, Mathematics, Accounting and Media Studies would not normally be considered as suitable.”
