Business Studies

If you enjoy watching Dragons’ Den or The Apprentice, if you like the idea of buying shares, if you want to manage a business or start up your own, or work in marketing, sales, finance or human resources, this is the subject for you. You will learn a lot about the real world and understand why and how things happen in a business context, to consider what really matters and to look for the best solution in any given situation.
