Studying at high school and university

Right now university may seem a long way off. A career is something you think about but there is plenty of time to make your choices.

Taking a business, commerce, economics or accounting subject in your senior school years, along with maths and english will make it easier for you should you decide on a commerce or business degree at university. However, becoming a Chartered Accountant isn’t all about maths skills. It is about analytical skills, problem solving, communication, teamwork and leadership.

The most direct path to the professional qualification of Chartered Accounting is by studying an approved university business or commerce degree with an accounting major.
