Course summary

A level Business is about debating and decision-making in a business context and as such it develops invaluable skills whatever you want to do next. If you have enjoyed watching the Apprentice or Dragon’s Den, like the idea of buying shares or if you want to manage a business then this is the subject for you. The Business course is designed to encourage a critical understanding of organisations, the markets they serve and the process of adding value. If you study Business you will investigate real businesses (many of which you are already familiar with) and the global and changing world in which businesses operate in. You will learn the practicalities, such as the numbers behind the business, but also why some succeed when others fail.
