Business

Course summary

EDUQAS A Level Business will provide the opportunity for students to explore the world of business in an academic, highly practical, and topical way. This Business course focuses heavily on topical business news and events, which also links closely with politics. Students will develop an understanding of how businesses are constructed and how areas of the business must coordinate together as part of a team, for example: human resources, marketing, finance & accounts, economics, law, business management, event management and sales. There will be a range of practical activities such as meeting and working as part of an HR team, planning, running a business, organising an event, and setting up a website. There will be visits to local and national businesses. There is an optional Business Studies trip to New York in Sixth Form, where the world of international business will be explored. This course can lead to careers in vocational and academic degrees with combined subjects such as Law, Psychology, Media, Engineering, English, Maths and Languages.
