Business Studies AS/A2
A level Business Studies is an ideal course for anyone with an interest in contemporary business culture. You will learn techniques to analyse and solve business problems, the importance of setting objectives and the role played by managers. You will also find out about how different departments, such as sales, marketing, finance, human resources and production, operate. Examples from real businesses will be used whenever possible, and your own experience from part-time work will be valuable.

What will I study?
Throughout the course you will gain a wide background knowledge of what businesses do and how they do it, what factors are likely to make businesses successful, and practical information about the legal and financial requirements of the business world. Guest speakers and visits to businesses are part of the courses.

AS: In the first year you will look at how to plan and finance a business, and techniques for successful management.

A2: In the second year you will study strategies for business success, the environment in which businesses operate and how they manage change.

How will I be assessed?
AS: 2 written exams at the end of year one, consisting of data response questions and case studies.

A2: 2 written exams at the end of year two based on case studies, plus a coursework project based on the topic of your choice.

What can I do next?
A level Business Studies can provide a stepping stone into another field, perhaps onto a totally unrelated course. If you want to specialise, you could choose further study in Business Studies, Marketing or Accounting. The skills and knowledge developed by the course are highly valued by employers, and would be useful for progression to management training courses in banking, other financial institutions and retailing.
