Business Studies:Single

Course summary

Business life is full of risks and Business students experience those from the safety of the classroom. Whether it is marketing a new confectionery bar or saving an ailing shoe factory, the same problem-solving skills are applied. Developing these skills is central to the A-level course. There is also a substantial body of knowledge that underpins any worthwhile study; this is covered in ten units across two years at A-level and therefore provides a comprehensive introduction to business. Business goes well with a variety of other subjects as it crosses the traditional divide between arts and sciences. Mathematics students find an application for their skills in the numerical sections of the course; students of English particularly appreciate the in-depth analysis associated with business case studies. Language students rightly see a possible application for their talents in a global business environment.
