Year 12 An introduction to key business areas: marketing, operations, finance and human resource management. This includes a special focus on decision making – particularly how decisions made in one area can affect the rest of the business. Year 13 An investigation of the strategic decisions that all businesses must make; analysing the strategic position of a business; choosing the strategic direction; strategic methods: how to pursue strategies; managing strategic change.
To study Business you should be comfortable with expressing yourself in short essay form and with some numerical analysis. The course content is very broad and covers a range of skills and we ask that you have a grade 6 in GCSE Maths. It is, however, most important that you have an interest in current affairs and the business environment.
A Level assessment consists of three x 2 hour written exams taken at the end of the two-year course. Each exam will be worth a third of the A Level. All three papers will draw on material from the whole course and will feature a range of question styles including multiple choice questions, short answer questions, essay questions, data response questions and case studies.
