Business Studies

Course summary

This course examines all aspects of business, including marketing, accounting and finance, internal organisation, human resources and operations management. It explores how an individual business is affected by and adapts to changes in government policy and economic and social changes. Although the course does involve a theoretical approach to business, the emphasis is always on how theory can be applied to realistic business situations, with the focus on providing solutions supported by evidence and analysis. You will be required to apply your knowledge and understanding to analyse and solve current business problems and issues, using case studies, videos and similar materials. The subject provides a solid foundation for any career in Accountancy, Law, Finance, Human Resources, or indeed a wide variety of jobs in the City, business or the media, and the skills of analysis and evaluation which are developed are useful in any career.
