The first year course explains what constitutes a business, discusses the role of managers, leadership and decision making within businesses of all sizes with particular emphasis on the four main functions of business: marketing, operations, human resources and finance. The A Level course includes the first year material and focuses on analysing the strategic position of a business, choosing a strategic direction for the business and choosing the correct strategies within each business function and managing strategic change within the business.
It is not necessary to have studied Business Studies at GCSE level since the A Level course covers all of the GCSE subject material but in much greater depth. You must be literate and numerate since there are a fair number of mathematical calculations and good essay writing is essential. Ideally you should have achieved a Grade 5 at English and Grade 6 Maths at GCSE level.
There are three exam papers. Each exam paper is: • A two hour written exam • 100 marks in total • 33.3% of A Level Paper one: Three compulsory sections Paper two: Three data response compulsory questions Paper three: One compulsory case study followed by six questions approximately.
