The Business A Level content is designed to engage students through topics and issues that are relevant in today’s society, such as digital technology, business ethics and globalisation. Students will develop the knowledge and skills needed to analyse data, think critically about issues and make informed decisions; all skills that are needed for further study and employment. The following are the ten key areas of study in the Business A Level. Points 7 to 10 are studied in the second year. 1. What is business? 2. Managers, leadership and decision making 3. Decision making to improve marketing performance 4. Decision making to improve operational performance 5. Decision making to improve financial performance 6. Decision making to improve human resource performance 7. Analysing the strategic position of a business (A-level only) 8. Choosing strategic direction (A-level only) 9. Strategic methods: how to pursue strategies (A-level only) 10. Managing strategic change (A-level only) The topics lend themselves to studying and engaging with the business world. The specification and assessment should encourage students to follow business developments and think critically about contemporary business issues. Most of the assessment material is based on real business situations. By examining and thinking critically about these situations, students will gain an insight into different contexts, helping them to understand the key issues whilst comparing and contrasting with other scenarios and contexts.
Students usually require a minimum of five passes at GCSE grades 9 – 4, including Mathematics and English Language. Students will normally also need to have at least a grade 6 in the subjects they wish to study at A-Level, but each applicant is considered on an individual basis.
