Business Studies:Single

Course summary

Given everyone ends up working for a business of some description, understanding the world of business is an essential skill. One of the many reasons to study Business is that by covering the 4 key areas of any Business - Marketing, Accounting, Human Resources and Operations Management, you can begin to think about which area of Business may suit you best in future employment. It is a hands-on and practical subject, using real world examples to illustrate the theories. Barely a day goes by without a big business story, from the collapse of seemingly indestructible high street brands to the ever-increasing dominance of online retailing. These events are always incorporated into the way we learn the subject. The subject is extended by considering the role business plays, for better or worse, in modern society, and thus covers issues like the environment, sweat shops and other ethical concerns.
