Business Studies

Course summary

A BTEC National Diploma is a level 3 qualification that will provide a vocational approach to studying Business. Through analysing real businesses and applying knowledge to ‘real life’ scenarios, all students will have the opportunity to learn a huge variety of skills that will form a strong basis for them to either use for their progression into university or into the world of business. This qualification is equivalent to two A Levels. This course provides a natural progression from Business and Economics. Although it would be an advantage to have completed these, they are not essential prerequisites. We would encourage any student to apply for this course due to the ‘real life’ approach to its units. The assessments are linked to a variety of businesses to support learning and a number of the units require students to experience the topics. The course is made up of 8 units, 6 mandatory units which everyone takes, and 2 optional units.
