There isn't a specific set of GCSEs required to become a financial analyst. While there's no single mandatory combination, strong GCSE results, particularly in
Mathematics and potentially
Economics (if offered) are highly advantageous. Employers look for evidence of strong academic ability, and good grades in these subjects demonstrate a foundational understanding crucial for the quantitative and analytical skills needed in the field.
While GCSEs are a starting point, university education (typically a degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related field) is almost always a requirement for a financial analyst role. Your university admissions will rely heavily on your A-Levels or equivalent qualifications.
