What the college says

You need a genuine interest in the world outside of education and business. You need to be able to work individually or collaborate in groups to research or discuss a particular business situation, questioning at every opportunity. Business is a subject that requires students to learn theories, identify, and assess them in business case studies, within an inclusive environment. There is a substantial element of reading and writing. Analysing data and communicating using written, numerical, visual, and verbal methods are all part of the course. Students are expected to study given basic business theory every week so that we can use this self-taught knowledge in lessons and exams to explore real business case studies and effectively answer exam questions. Developing these skills is essential to growth both professionally and personally. Business complements all subjects because every student will be an employee at some point, whether as a dancer or as an engineer, so will benefit from critiquing businesses with understanding and empathy.
