Business Studies:Single

Course summary

The new business specification is intended to be robust and challenging to students. The content is designed to engage students through topics and issues which are relevant in today’s society – for example, you will study key contemporary developments such as digital technology, business ethics and globalisation. You will study business in a variety of contexts (e.g. large/small, UK-focused/global, service/manufacturing) and consider the importance of the context of business in relation to: • Decision making; • The interrelated nature of business activities and how they affect competitiveness; • The influences on functional decisions and plans, including ethical and environmental issues; • The factors which might determine whether a decision is successful e.g. the quality of data and the degree of uncertainty. The course includes 3 exams at the end of the 2 years.
