Business is practical, applied and exciting. It studies organisations and how they operate within their environment. The course involves looking in detail at how businesses carry out their various functions such as finance, human resources management, marketing and operations management. The course also looks at how outside agencies, such as the government and pressure groups, affect the behaviour of businesses. It makes you think about business critically, examining both favourable and unfavourable aspects. The A-level business course introduces you to all you need to know about working in business, providing a solid foundation for further study. With a focus on helping you to become a good decision maker, you’ll learn essential managerial skills, alongside techniques to help you become an analytical problem solver. These skills are all highly sought after and valued in a wide range of careers.
Entrance requirements include a GCSE predicted average of 6 or above and 7-9 in subjects planned for A-level.
We will follow the AQA Specification (7405). The content is split into three teaching modules, examined in three two-hour papers: • Module 1 – Physical and Inorganic Chemistry (35 per cent of A-level) This looks at atomic structure, chemical calculations including the mole, bonding, energetics including calorimetry, Hess’s Law and Born Haber cycles, kinetics, chemical equilibria including Kc and Kp calculations, acidbase equilibria, electrode potentials and electrochemical cells. • Module 2 – Organic and Inorganic Chemistry (35 per cent of A-level) This covers periodicity, Group 2, Group 7 and transition metals, nomenclature and isomerism, alkanes, alkenes, halogenoalkanes, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acid derivatives, aromatic chemistry, amines, polymers, amino acids and proteins and organic analysis. • Module 3 – Synoptic Paper (30 per cent of A-level) This covers any content and any practical skills.
