BA requirements?

Hello again guys! As you may know I am currently studying at a upper secondary school in Sweden. This school is very unique compared to other swedish school since it gives you a special english program. In normal schools you study english A, B, C. A and B are the swedish requirements in order to become a pilot. But at my school you get A, B, C, D, E and Cambridge english. Infact I have the requirements needed to apply for any university in the english speaking world, I want after graduation. Infact there are no english courses to study at university because you get it all at this school. And since BA is my dream airline and it doesnīt have to be BA I would like other uk airlines or even Cathay/Singapore/US carriers.

The thing now is that I donīt like the school so much so I am thinking of changing to a normal swedish school. What comes with this is that I only get english A, B and C. I will get the highest grades since I am very good at english. But I am affraid that if I go to a normal school which doesnīt have this special english, I will have a disadvantage when applying for BA in the future? Is this true? Do BA and airlines look at which courses you have studyed or do they do a test on you to see how god you are in english?

What do you think? Is it a disadvantage to change or doesnīt it matter att all?

Because I have the feeling that if you go to a normal Swedish school, you will not get a career outside Sweden and that is my dream. My present school is specialised in preparing students for foreign studies since it cooporates with organisations in the US and the UK. It allso cooporating with Cambridge and Oxford University.


Cheers
