Course summary

Business offers a thorough insight into the world of business that all of us come into contact with every day. It covers all processes and types of jobs available in all businesses from the Accountant in the Finance department to the Personnel Manager in the Human Resources department. We do a lot of investigation into businesses to find out how they are putting the theory into practice in the current economic climate. A number of day trips may take place to tour chosen businesses and find out information from their respective employees. In business studies your opinion counts and is an important requirement in completing many coursework elements.
