What the college says

Business Studies will not make you a millionaire by the time you are 21. It will, however, provide an exciting insight into the dynamic world of business, giving the basic skills necessary to produce a business plan and manage a company. You will learn the importance of marketing, how to identify, target and satisfy customer requirements and how to motivate people, in order to maximise their output. You will learn that every business decision has financial implications and you will be taught how to calculate profit, forecast cash flow and analyse a firm's published accounts. Apart from learning the theoretical aspects of business, examining case studies encourages students to use their initiative in problem-solving and gives rise to lively class discussions.
