Based on the most helpful WSO content, specific A-Level subjects are generally not that important as long as you do well in them. For Investment Banking, the minimum grades required to enter are on the rise, with ABB/AAB being the minimum required.
Regarding the IB Diploma, while the context does not provide specific details on how banks view IB Diploma grades, it can be inferred that high performance in relevant subjects, particularly in Higher Level (HL) courses, would be beneficial. For example, subjects like HL Math and HL Economics would likely be viewed favorably.
In summary: - A-Level Requirements: Minimum grades of ABB/AAB. - IB Diploma: High performance in relevant HL subjects (e.g., HL Math, HL Economics) would be advantageous.
