Business A Level allows pupils to examine business strategies and recommend actions that should lead to business success. To achieve this, pupils need to know about the traditional business theories and make connections between them and what is happening in a current business context. Exams are based on newspaper articles from publications like the Financial Times and The Telegraph. The course is broken down into finance, human resources, marketing and operations. Pupils study both UK-based and global businesses. About 12-15% of the course is based on calculations so pupils must be confident with calculations using business formulae.
At least a grade 5 in English and Maths.
There are three exams. One exam tests marketing and human resources, another exam tests finance and operations. The final exam tests all topics and is based on a pre-seen context; past examples include the UK car market and the UK sports events market. 12% -15% of the exams are calculations.
