AS/A Level Business Studies

Course summary

The subject content for Business is structured so that the first year of the A Level starts with a foundation topic ‘What is Business?’ and moves into decision making within the functional areas of business; marketing, operations, finance and human resources. The second year of the A Level builds on the first year by considering strategy and the impact of factors such as technology, environmental and ethical influences on strategic decision making and functional areas. The AS and A Level courses are co-teachable in that all subject content in the first year of the A Level is also all the content of the AS course. This means that both AS students and A Level year 1 students can be taught the content together with ease.
