What the college says

Business is about analysing and evaluating the decisions that businesses make in the real world. To be able to do this well, students must be able to use the knowledge that they learn throughout the course. They must pull apart the advantages and disadvantages of decisions, the factors effecting the decisions and be able to recommend strategies for real businesses to follow. The Business course aims to: Develop an enthusiasm for studying business. Gain holistic understanding of business in a range of contexts. Develop a critical understanding of organisations and their ability to meet society's needs and wants. Understand that business behaviour can be studied from a range of perspectives. Generate enterprising and creative approaches to business opportunities, problems and issues. Be aware of the ethical dilemmas and responsibilities faced by organisations and individuals. Acquire a range of relevant business and generic skills, including decision making, problem solving, the challenging of assumptions and critical analysis. Apply numerical skills in a range of business contexts. Students do not need to have studied Business before but those who have a GCSE in Business will find the approach very similar, although the content more demanding.
