Business Studies A Level
Course Summary
Business A Level lifts the lid on business organisations and investigates what makes them tick. You will learn how functions such as marketing, human resources, product development and finance all have to work closely together in order to achieve the aims and objectives of the business. You will also look at influences outside the business that affect it, such as the economy.
In your first year, you will learn what it takes to set up and run a business and the types of business organisations there are. You will then look at the financial aspects of business along with the human and operational areas.
The second year of the course considers a broader overview of business strategies, economic influences on the business, and how the different parts of the business react to these issues, as well as learning tools to analyse and judge the success of a business.
Business students find that there is a huge range of opportunities for them, whether this is through a traditional university route, where you may want to specialise in a particular area of business, or through an apprenticeship route. You might consider employment, or even developing that fantastic business idea you had in the first term of your studies!
