Business

Course summary

Business is front-page news. The operations of corporate giants is under scrutiny more than ever before, whilst television programmes like Dragon’s Den and The Apprentice have raised the profile of Business to a new generation. This course enables students to engage with, explore and analyse business behaviour and develop a critical understanding of what Business is and does. Business students therefore study current affairs and topical issues that can generate change for business organisations and the strategies businesses employ to respond to these issues. Here at All Saints, we involve our sixth form Business students in a number of activities to develop a depth of understanding about how academic study relates to real life.
