What the college says

Equivalent in size to one A level and UCAS points awarded as with A levels. Assignments, units and final marks will be awarded as: Pass (E), Merit (C), Distinction (A), Distinction* (A*). This BUSINESS course is specifically aimed at young people wanting to study a related course at university, take up an apprenticeship or career straight after school. Local firms and not-for-profit organisations tell us that they need skilled employees with a good business acumen as well as the ability to work well in a team and communicate effectively. This course addresses these needs. This course opens up a wide range of opportunities such as the ability to progress on to a degree in a wide range of subjects such as business, marketing, IT, accountancy, teaching or law. Alternatively students could enter employment in various areas of business such as accounts and finance, human resources, local government, logistics, marketing or retailing. Students should also be capable of starting their own business. It is ideal for students who would enjoy completing regular assignments and project work alongside 2 traditional linear A Levels. Some possible combinations could be; • A levels in Spanish and Maths, it could lead to a BSc (Hons) in International Management with Spanish. • A levels in Computing and Economics, it could lead to an Accountancy Apprenticeship.
