Business is a very popular A Level and includes investigating business in a variety of contexts: large/small, UK focused/Global, Service/Manufacturing. The A Level course enables students to: - Gain a holistic understanding of business in a range of contexts - Develop a critical understanding of the organizations in which we all work - Generate enterprising and creative approaches to business opportunities, problems, and issues - Acquire a range of relevant business and generic skills, including decision-making, problem-solving, the challenging of assumptions, and critical analysis - Apply numerical skills in a range of business contexts. Business requires a range of skills and it suits students who are “all-rounders”. Students will need to be competent and confident with quantitative skills (Maths) but also have the ability to read and interpret a case study involving figures and descriptive content; students also need to write well and be able to structure an essay. Students of A-Level Business often go on to study related subjects at university and at A Level it can be combined successfully with many different subjects. It will appeal to students who are interested in studying the practical rather than a more theoretical subject; Economics, for example, is more conceptual and theoretical than Business although similar skills are developed in both subjects.
