Business Studies

Course summary

This course is designed to give students the opportunity to study many of the aspects involved in setting up and running a business. This is done through investigative work based on real life business examples. Students can target specific tasks to achieve their expected grade on every piece of coursework. This allows them to concentrate on a task that is suitable to their level of ability and also challenge themselves to achieve higher than expected. Combined with other qualifications, this course could be a stepping stone to business-related degree programmes such as business, business management, marketing, business and finance, business and economics or accounting. There are professional services schemes, higher and degree apprenticeships in a wide variety of employment sectors. You'll have transferable skills such as teamwork, planning, research and communication that are valuable for a range of non-business careers.
