What the college says

Business is concerned with the actions and decisions taken by individual firms and focuses on topics such as: Marketing, Human Resources, Finance and Production Methods. If you are interested in how businesses operate, grow and compete you will find this a motivating subject. At AS students will develop a critical understanding of organisations, the markets they serve and the decision making process. This includes the consideration of the internal workings and management of organisations and, in particular, the process of improving the performance of each function within the business. In addition to the AS course, A Level students will analyse the strategic position of a business and identify effective management strategies to change the direction of the business. An understanding of the external climate that businesses operate in is key for A Level Business, in particular the varied impacts that the UK's decision to leave the European Union will have on how businesses operate

What you need to get on

Level 5 in Maths and English Language, plus two Level 6s in the following: English Language, English Literature, Geography, History or Religious Studies are required.

Both of which are strongly desired.
