Answer 1 :
The short answer is yes. The vast majority of universities look at your cumulative GPA, and only look at individual courses to make sure you didn't fail anything, or anything significant. But, as long as your overall GPA is admissible, the individual grades don't matter (once again, as long as not failing). The university would then admit you, and most large universities don't have processes where you have to be accepted to specific degree programs, you'll be admitted to the overall university, and are then free to major in whatever you like (like Chemical Engineering or Accounting), or you will be admitted to their Business or Engineering college within the University and are then free to major in your desired subject. So, get those grades up, keep an overall good GPA, and you'll be fine!

what career should I go for? chartered accountant or engineer?

what career should I go for? chartered accountant or engineer?
if i decided to become a chartered accountant i would become one and then go on to get an mba. if i decided to become an engineer then i would become one and then try and get a phd. both ways i am pretty sure i would make good salary. maybe 100k+. but i dont know what i would enjoy more. please help me decide what to do for. here is my personality and life.... i like to sit around and watch tv. ( I AM A lazy couch potato). i dont really get out of my house i just sit inside and go on computer or do something like that. i dont like dirty manual labour.now reading this you might think accountancy will be the better career for me. but wait there is more. i would like to invent something in my life that is gonna be a great invention. i like doing stuff like filing down wood and metal and making things out of it. basically working with tools and nuts, bolts and screws and files and stuff like that. from this it looks like i want to have an engineering career. (one important thing - if i am going to do engineering it would be civil or chemical engineering or else i would go for accounting). someother stuff are i am good at chemistry (usually i get grade As in exams) but i hate it when in chemistry lessons when we do practical work. would i have to do stuff like that if i become a chemical engineer. and i hate maths but still i am good at it. so would hating maths make me hate my job if i become a chartered accountant. what career should i go for. pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease help

Answer 1 :
When was the last time you heard of a accountant being made redundant?
Answer 2 :
There is little math in accounting. Many people think accounting is mathematical, but actually it is more conceptual. There is more math in engineering. But if you like to make things and are inventive you should go into engineering. The MBA is a terminal degree that leads to management positions. The Ph.D. is a terminal degree that leads to university teaching and research. You would probably be happier with a Ph.D., but it will take longer to earn it. We need Ph.Ds in engineering more than we need MBAs with accounting.

Career as a management accountant...help please!?

Career as a management accountant...help please!?
I am due to graduate from university this summer after spending 3 years studying maths with economics. I am interested in pursuing a career as a management accountant but wanted to know realistically what chance I have based on the fact that I am predicted a high 2:1 though only have 220 UCAS points over 3 a-levels (or 260 over 4 a-levels)? If I do have a chance, do I need any other form of qualification before I can start to apply for jobs as a trainee management account (after graduating) and begin studying for my CIMA qualification?

Answer 1 :
Sounds like you have enough academic qualifications already or expected. I did the CIMA qualification and got my ACMA with a 2:2 in history, so maths with economics should stand you in good stead.
Answer 2 :
You shouldn't have any problems getting a job as a trainee managment accountant with your qualifications. Try looking at Cima's website. http://www.cimaglobal.org.uk You may however want to consider going down the CA route as that generally gives you more opportunities in terms of career once you are qualified. You will generally need a degree at 2.1 to get a job with a big accounting firm and they will provide all training.
