Business is a fascinating subject and looks at real world problems such as: How can businesses maximise profits? How do you grow a business? How do businesses create products which customers want? How do businesses motivate their staff? The course provides an engaging curriculum whether you are thinking of a future as an entrepreneur, senior manager or even specialising in a business field such as marketing or finance! The course provides an excellent academic grounding as well as the added value of developing knowledge and skills which will be useful throughout your career such as budgeting, leadership and problem solving.
At least 5 GCSEs at Grade 4 or above, all from the core subjects and including a Grade 5 or above in Maths.
You will complete three two hour exams at the end of Year 2 (Paper 1, 2 and 3) which cover all of the themes studied in Year 1 and Year 2. The Paper 3 is based on a specific industry which we find out about just before Christmas. The Exam board give us a pre-release with key areas to research. In Summer 2023 it was the car market and in Summer 2022 it was the sports industry. During the course you will have regular end of unit assessments, homework and mock exam papers to track your progress.
