Course summary

Engaging with many of the issues most relevant in today’s society, studying A Level Business also gives you the knowledge and tools needed to understand how businesses are created, managed, and become successful; it also explores why this actually matters! Always bringing together a range of students, studying A Levels across the arts, humanities, and sciences, classes also include students who have studied GCSE Business and those brand new to the subject. This diversity really helps develop an academic approach to support all of your A Level studies. It may be that you’re interested in studying a business course at university or through an apprenticeship, or you might just want to understand the world we live in a little better; whatever your reason, you’ll find a course that challenges you and engages you, building the academic expertise key to your success at College, and beyond. Business gives an understanding of the many problems businesses face and encourages students to develop analytical and evaluative ways to solve them.

Entry requirements

A minimum of 4 GCSE subjects at grade 5 or above, as well as GCSE English Language and Maths at grade 4 or above. There is no requirement to have studied Business at GCSE, but a minimum of a grade 5 is needed if you have.

How you'll be assessed

Three A Level exams are sat at the end of Year Two and assess the content from both Year One and Year Two; these papers are each 2 hours long. Questions include multiple-choice, short-answer responses, and essays, and look to test your knowledge, ability to apply it, and then use it to analyse and evaluate different business scenarios and contexts.
