Course summary

The WJEC Eduqas A level in Business introduces learners to the dynamic world of enterprise and the factors that drive business success. Students explore how organisations are created, how they grow, and how they adapt to the challenges of a constantly changing environment. Confidence in mathematics is essential, as the course involves data analysis, financial performance, forecasting, and investment appraisal alongside written analytical and evaluative work. Across the course, learners study a wide range of themes including enterprise, markets and market research, business structures, marketing, finance, human resources, and operations management. They also examine strategy and decision-making, exploring how data informs business choices and how organisations respond to change, risk, ethical issues, and globalisation. By applying concepts to real-world contexts, students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and quantitative skills while gaining a clear understanding of how businesses operate in both national and international markets. This subject is an excellent choice for students aiming to study Business or related disciplines at university, such as Marketing, Human Resource Management, International Business, or Finance.
