Business has changed. Not just in the real world where the traditional business models are being ripped up as brand after brand goes into bankruptcy, but also in the subject itself. The subject now incorporates far more business-relevant topics that pupils will end up using in their high-powered future careers in the business world. By using the department’s own real-world experience, it is in this area that the department excels and pupils can really see where their new technical abilities, such as investment appraisal, strategy development and viral marketing can take them in the future. But technical skills only get you so far. Arguably more important in the new business world of today and the future, will be the ability to change, react and inspire. These are business skills that studying Business at Warwick will develop. By interacting with local, national and international businesses, our pupils of today are developing into the leaders of tomorrow. This has been proven by the hugely impressive career paths of the department alumnae
Success in studying Business at A Level requires a good level of numerical competency, so a grade 7 in Mathematics is desirable. However, more important is a willingness to think critically and creatively when presented with specific problems. The ability to communicate concepts and arguments, both on paper and verbally is also a key skill for progression.
The formal assessment consists of three equally weighted examinations of two hours each. They combine a mixture of multiple-choice questions, short content questions, calculation questions and a mixture of case-study-led essay questions.
