Business Studies

Course summary

Almost every decision you make is influenced by a business. Perhaps through an expensive marketing campaign or a celebrity endorsing a brand. Maybe the education you receive or the medication you take through the NHS. To make the best decisions, you need the best understanding of the information presented to you. To succeed as an entrepreneur or an employee, you need a strong understanding of your own capabilities and how these can be used to the business’ advantage. Through the study of business, you will learn how to match your skills to your ambitions. You will develop an enquiring mind and be able to draw connections between multiple concepts. You will learn how to take a logical approach to problem-solving and become able to think outside the box. You will learn how to shape and evaluate strategies and, through this become, an effective negotiator.
