School Subject Requirements
3GCSE’s and 2 A levels in 5 different subjects with English and maths required for ACCA acceptance

It’s not essential to study a commercial degree, although it helps. You will still need to complete the ACCA qualification (3 – 4 years).
Alternative routes
Start working once you’ve completed your A levels and study the ACCA while you work. You’ll develop really good skills this way.
