Business Studies:Single

Course summary

Business is structured into four themes and consists of three externally examined papers. Students are introduced to Business in Themes 1 and 2 through building knowledge of core business concepts and applying them to business contexts to develop a broad understanding of how businesses work. Breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding, with applications to a wider range of contexts and more complex business information, are developed in Themes 3 and 4, requiring students to take a more strategic view of business opportunities and issues. Students are encouraged to use an enquiring, critical and thoughtful approach to the study of Business, to understand that business behaviour can be considered from a range of perspectives and to challenge assumptions. You do not need to have studied Business at GCSE to study it at A Level
