What the college says

A level Business is a very relevant and interesting subject, which covers a range of topical concerns to students who are consumers, will in the future be employees (and employers!) and to those who are interested in the welfare of society generally. Business organisations vary in size, ownership, objectives and most certainly in how they go about achieving those objectives. The business environment, in which firms operate, is increasingly complex and fiercely competitive, having a huge effect on us all - sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse! The course helps students understand the background to the business decision making process, encouraging them to establish informed opinions and views.
