Business Studies:Single

Course summary

Studying Business will enable you to develop your commercial awareness and learn how management, leadership and decision-making can improve performance in marketing, operations, financial management and human resources. You will learn through business case studies, field trips to multinational organisations, guest lectures from a wide range of leading professionals and business news and trends as we bring to life the complexities of UK and global business. We foster a spirit of enquiry and a critical approach to thinking about business problems. You will learn how to evaluate alternative solutions to challenges in the face of uncertainty, and the importance of evaluating outcomes and learning from mistakes. Students have the option to take part in the national Tycoon in Schools competition: in previous years our students have been awarded start-up loans from the Peter Jones Foundation on the strength of their business plans.
