What the college says
A Level Business is an interesting alternative to Economics in that it maintains the same academic rigour but has greater application to how businesses work and the environment in which they operate. The aim of the course is to develop a holistic understanding of business where students investigate, analyse and evaluate business opportunities and issues. Building on this, and by using both qualitative and quantitative methods, students are encouraged to take a more strategic view of their decisions and recommendations. Theme 1: Marketing & People;Theme 2: Managing business activities; Theme 3: Business decisions and strategy; Theme 4: Global Business
