What the college says

Business Studies may not make you a millionaire by the time you’re 21, but it will provide you with the entrepreneurial skills and the wider external economic understanding for you to succeed in your future business career. This course allows you to cover a wide range of theory and business models. You will learn about the internal functions of the business – Marketing, Finance, Operations and Human Resources. In addition you will learn about real-life external factors including the economy, politics, law and global competition. Within our department, you will also have the chance to participate in a well-regarded Young Enterprise scheme, where you can put your entrepreneurial skills to the test. You will have the opportunity to run your own business, manage a HSBC bank account, compete against schools from North Yorkshire and across the country where you will hopefully make a profit that you can keep. You will also have the opportunity to take part in ‘Student Investor,’ where you can try your hand at investing a virtual £100,000 on the stock exchange and have a chance to win a trip to New York.
