What the college says

Some students will go on to start their own businesses, others will perform management roles, and nearly all will at least work within a business at some point. The subject teaches lifelong transferable skills which can be applied to many different pathways. An AS or A Level in Business is useful preparation not only for Business degrees but also for studying Economics, Management and other Social Sciences. Some Business graduates teach or lecture in schools, colleges or universities, or work for government departments. Others specialise in one aspect of Business, such as marketing and then obtain work either in a marketing firm or the marketing department of a larger company. Many business graduates will move into general management. Whatever career is pursued, students will find that A Level Business is a useful subject to have studied as the concepts covered are relevant to any career. The subject also allows students to develop and use a range of competencies such as research, numeracy, literacy, analytical, evaluative and debating skills.
