What the college says

A-level Business aims to equip tomorrow’s corporate leaders with the ability to make informed decisions across all aspects and sizes of businesses, both in the short and long term. The UK business environment is constantly in a state of change whether due to evolving international relations or wider developments in technology that require businesses to change strategies or be left behind by the competition. The 21st Century will be one that presents many business challenges and opportunities for those graduates who are well-enough equipped to adapt and thrive in an ever-increasing globalised marketplace. This 2-year course will focus mainly on what businesses are and how managerial decisions are made to improve business performance across the functional areas of Marketing, Finance, Operations and Human Resources. The full A-level will also include studying leadership and corporate strategic decision-making, including the internal and external influences that can impact on the overall success of a business, particularly through times of corporate change. The course will be based very much on real business scenarios and students are advised to keep up with the latest business news, to relate real-world cases to core concepts taught in class.
