A Level Business will give you an exciting insight into the dynamic world of business. It is not just a theoretical subject, it is about real life and combines academic challenge with a practical focus. Have you ever wondered... • How Primark can sell clothes so cheaply? • Why Apple keep launching new iPhones and consumers keep buying them? • Why more flowers are sold on a Monday? • Why it is so complicated to work out the best mobile phone tariff? You will learn about businesses and the way they operate in today’s society. You will investigate problems which real businesses are currently facing and use your initiative to develop possible solutions. The emphasis throughout the entire course is on problem solving and decision-making. You will learn how to use a wide range of contemporary business tools and models and apply them to today’s business.
Any student taking Business should have a genuine interest in the world beyond the school environment and in how businesses operate. You will require sound numeracy skills and will need a GCSE grade 6 in Mathematics and the capacity for good written English. You must be able to work to deadlines and be interested in current affairs.
All the assessments are based on real businesses, real problems and real opportunities. You will be given the opportunity to demonstrate your quantitative, reflective and decision-making business skills to solve business problems. Three written papers of 2 hours each consisting of data response and extended open response questions. For paper 3 there will be a pre-released context document which will focus on a particular market or industry. Students will carry out research and investigate data based on this topic.
