The philosophy of the in BTEC specification is to understand the nature of Business; candidates must actively experience the business environment. This is achieved through a variety of approaches, links with local employers, case studies and research. This qualification provides students with a broad introduction to the business sector and will encourage them to develop skills, knowledge and understanding in realistic business contexts, such as discovering the problems and opportunities faced by local businesses and/or organising an enterprise activity. Throughout this course there are opportunities during the teaching and learning phase to give learners practice in developing employability and transferable skills highly valued by both employers and Universities. The qualification carries UCAS points and is recognised by higher education providers as contributing to meeting admission requirements to many relevant courses, for example: BSc (Hons) in Business and Management BA (Hons) in Business and Finance BA (Hons) in Business with Human Resource Management BA (Hons) and BSc(Hons) in Business Studies BSc (Hons) in International Management BSc (Hons) or BA (Hons) in Marketing BSc (Hons) in Retail Management. Learners should always check the entry requirements for degree programmes with specific higher education providers. After this qualification, learners can also progress directly into employment, however it is likely that many will do so via higher study. Areas of employment include junior business roles in marketing, administration, finance, financial services, procurement, events management, human resources, and other related areas in the business sector. In recent years we have also seen students' progress onto other University degree courses outside of this area of Business including Law at the University of Edinburgh and at the University of Nottingham and Sports Management BSc at the University of Bath.
At least 6 GCSEs at grade 4 or above; these qualifications must include either English or Mathematics. Candidates will retake whichever of the latter they had not achieved at grade 4 or above on entry.
