Applied Business

Course summary

The course is made up of six mandatory units. 50% is externally assessed and 50% is internally assessed. This should mean that the learner is better prepared to make the adjustment to the learner-centred ethos of study at university. In the qualification, the learner will cover topics such as: • The role of finance in planning an enterprise, analysing, and making financial decisions • How business organisations use the human, physical and financial resources at their disposal to achieve their dynamic goals • The nature of enterprising behaviour and how this can be personally utilised to best exploit entrepreneurial opportunities within specific market conditions. Each unit is based on four key business themes: people, markets, finance, and operational delivery, which ensure that the qualification has a synoptic approach to learning. Note: Units may be subject to change.
