Business Studies

About

This course is designed for students who want to learn skills for running a business, such as managing money, advertising and employing staff.

It is a three-year course that is broken down into two themes:

  • Theme 1 Investigating small business
  • Theme 2 Building a business

Specification

Business Studies will allow students to gain a greater understanding of how organisations operate.

Students will also develop their numeracy skills in Business Studies as they study investment, funding and how to use and interpret financial data.

Business Studies also forces students to be organised and to plan ahead. Learning how to generate marketable ideas, access resources and develop business plans all require a great deal of organisation.

Problem solving is a significant part of Business Studies.   Students will become very good at coming up with elegant and logical solutions to problems which employers, of course, love.

Presentation skills are really important so Business Studies will allow students to develop them which in turn improves their oral communication, diction and confidence.

As you can see, Business Studies is a useful, practical and fascinating subject that many students will enjoy and benefit from.
