Thanks alot for the reply. I really appreciate it.
I live in the central Africa in some country called Malawi. Many people don't know this place. Its a fullstop on the map. Its a small country. We don't have good schools down here.
Well, coming back to the point... We only have a few subjects at A level.. We've got Pure Maths with statistics or mechanics, General Paper, English Literature, ICT, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Business Studies, Accounting, Economics, Law, Sociology, French, History and Geography.
We are only allowed to take a subject for A level if we have done it at IGCSE and have passed it with a C or above so I can only take Maths, English, ICT, Business Studies, Accounting, Economics or Physics.
We are only allowed to have 3 or 4 subjects so now since i either want to do MBA or ACCA which 4 subjetc do i need or should i say which four subjects should i take for if i want to do MBA and which 4 subjects for ACCA.?
N.S- ICT i'm taking for sure.. But i'm confused about the other 3.!!
Thank You.!!
Actually, I know about Malawi. My sister almost lived there.
Though you not having a career adviser is kinda sad
In view of the restrictions your school has placed on you, I guess the subject combination which would work for your fields could be:
ACCA:
Mathematics, Accounting and Economics; Mathematics, Accounting and Business Studies
MBA:
Mathematics, Economics and Business Studies; Mathematics, Economics and Accounting; Business Studies, Economics and Accounting.
The ones in bold are my personal recommendations. Reasons being:
1) Chartered Accountancy requires a very good grasp of Mathematics. Plus for most entrepreneurs, Mathematics is a must. From personal experience, I also feel Mathematics keeps your mind sharp and vigilant.
2) Economics is a very strong subject. It is the bridge between Social Sciences and Life Sciences; many prospective medical, engineering and students for related fields are now opting Economics because someone cannot work out a Biotechnology plant without a knowledge of cost management and effectiveness.
3) Accounting is obviously an important option for someone going in Chartered Accountancy, and from what I've heard it's quite hard. However schools in my country
do not offer Accounting and yet most students carry forward into business and banking, with many going abroad, so it might not be as important as Economics or Mathematics.
4) Business Studies is reputed as a comparatively easy subject. However, it is important and is a good option.
Overall, I feel that you should keep the following subjects:
Mathematics, Economics, ICT and Business StudiesThat way, you can have an easier fourth subject rather than a tougher one. Plus, like I said, from my experience Business Studies is given preference over Accounting in schools.
