The A Level in Business Studies is a great qualification for students interested in studying Business nationally and internationally. Taught by specialist teachers using a wide range of teaching methods and interactive resources including trips, competitions and speakers. Housed in the historic core of Queen’s College, the department, known as ‘The Covers,’ comprises purpose-designed classrooms fully equipped with the latest technology. Understanding business is fundamental to most careers these days and many of our students who undertake the A Level course go on to business courses at Higher Education or an apprenticeship. Although you will consider a variety of business questions supported by theory, the emphasis is on your ability to analyse business problems and evaluate your own solutions to these problems. You are required to take an interest in current business affairs through the watching of relevant television programmes, reading quality newspapers and magazines and using the internet. All students will have the opportunity to compete in our interschool economics and business competition, the QuBEC cup, at the end of Year 12.
Sixth Formers are asked to take two subject papers of their choice plus a general paper, as well as being expected to have achieved five 9-4 grades at GCSE. These exams are normally sat in November for Year 12 entry.
