BUSINESS DRIVES THE WORLD ECONOMY; IT PROVIDES EMPLOYMENT, INCOME AND WEALTH AND HELPS TO IMPROVE OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. THE DEPARTMENT’S AIM IS TO PROVIDE A THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF THE TECHNIQUES AND PRACTICES THAT LIE BEHIND MAKING INFORMED NATIONAL AND GLOBAL BUSINESS DECISIONS. Business at A Level will give students a comprehensive understanding of the skills required in today’s rapidly changing business world. Employers are always keen to employ individuals with a good understanding of business and this course will provide you with exactly that. You will gain skills in all aspects of running a business and will even cover the skills required to start your own business. The specification is organised into four themes. Themes 1 and 2 work through the core topics of human resources, marketing, operations and finance with the aim of developing a broad understanding of how businesses work. Breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding, with applications to a wide range of contexts and more complex business information, are developed in Themes 3 and 4. This requires students to take a more strategic view of global business opportunities and appreciate the external environment when reaching their conclusions. Students are encouraged to use an enquiring, critical and thoughtful approach to the study of business, to understand that business behaviour can be studied from a range of perspectives and to challenge assumptions. Members of the Business Department have a wealth and variety of experience spanning both commerce and education. This expertise enables the department to offer rigorous theoretical business analysis in a real-world context. We are a friendly, good-humoured department with an open-door policy. Committed to pupil progression we draw on our varied professional backgrounds to ensure pupils are provided with an innovative, stimulating and interesting curriculum.
Grade C or above in English and Mathematics.
There are three externally assessed papers at A Level. Each paper comprises 100 marks and is two hours in duration. Data response questions are short answers and extended open responses. A Level Paper 3 has a broad pre-released context to support the investigative nature of the qualification.
