Studying your A-Level

Business Studies is one of the most widely studied subjects in the world. As a broad subject, it focuses on Accountancy, Finance, Organisations, Human Resources and Marketing.

You will be challenged to consider the importance of context to decision-making concerning the competitive market. You will also get to grips with the factors that determine the success of that decision and how to analyse performance.

This A-Level course will also help you to understand the influences on functional decisions and plans. These can include ethical and environmental issues, stakeholders, functional issues and practical limitations.
