Since mathematical techniques are used, a Grade 5 in GCSE mathematics is required. Students who have previously studied Business should have a minimum of grade 6 at GCSE or Distinction in BTEC. There is some emphasis on extended writing using clear arguments; therefore a grade 6 in English is required at GCSE. Students are expected to be able to evaluate business decisions and business behaviour.
