What the college says

While it is obvious that those planning on working in most industries and prospective entrepreneurs should study Business, all people should learn as much about business operations as possible. This includes those in the scientific, medical, education and government sectors, along with those who are simply consumers of products and services. Becoming knowledgeable about how businesses operate helps increase your competitiveness in the job market and to understand how the businesses and governments drive our world economies. Business is highly desirable for many careers whether they are directly business related and it will be useful to complement another career path. Students take on Business for different reasons.

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.
