The mixed Economics and Business Studies A’ Level course offers pupils an excellent opportunity to experience how the business world operates. This unique course combines the theoretical underpinning of Economics with the practical application of Business Studies and enables pupils to develop a strong understanding of both these aspects. Pupils will spend time researching current affairs and considering the impact these will have from a financial perspective. Class debates determine the best line of approach for individuals, businesses and governments to take in search of financial success. Practical sessions and trips enhance classroom learning and create opportunities for the pupils to have interesting real-life experiences.
Generally, students must have at least 5 GCSE grades 9 – 5 or equivalent Scottish Highers qualifications for entry to the Sixth Form. Internal candidates are very likely to exceed this minimum requirement with an average 9 GCSEs. It is usual for a student to have achieved a Grade 6 or higher in their chosen areas of study.
