A Level Business provides students with a relevant and useful understanding of how businesses operate, develop and expand in the modern and everchanging industry landscape. It is very much an ‘applied subject’ meaning it gives students a chance to learn through real-life business contexts and case studies covering both small and large firms, looking at things such as how businesses are structured, financed and run, and the attributes of successful entrepreneurship and what makes a good leader. Students will develop a wide range of transferable skills and commercial awareness valued by both universities and employers.
Some maths is involved, but not above GCSE level. Good writing skills are essential as students have to appraise different options for businesses via essays. We expect a willingness to follow the business news to understand what different sectors and firms are facing in a rapidly changing world. A good level of curiosity about the economy and the world, in general, is useful.
All course content is examined at the end of the two-year course: Paper 1: Marketing, People and Global Business. Topics in themes 1 & 4. 2 hours. 35% of final marks. Paper 2: Business Activities, Decisions and Strategy. Topics in themes 2 and 3. 2 hours. 35% of final marks. Paper 3: Investigating Business in a Competitive Environment. Testing topics across all four themes, based upon a case study released in November before the exam. 2 hours. 30% of final marks.
