Course content
The A Level course builds on and develops the knowledge, understanding and skills gained in Year One. Assessment is by written examination at the end of the year. There is no coursework.
There are two modules to the course:
- Business Analysis and Strategy (Unit 3)
- Business in a Changing World (Unit 4)
The A Level Business Studies course, delivered as infill into the full-time programme of study, is offered during the daytime, spread over three days. It's therefore suitable for those who wish to take a single subject and are able to attend at varied times during the week.
Assessment is based on practical coursework tasks and an exam.
The A Level Business Studies can either be studied as a main qualification, to be continued in Higher Education, or it can be a valuable addition to other mainstream courses.
Many students of the Sciences, Mathematics, Languages and Humanities find careers in the business environment and benefit greatly from the knowledge gained in the qualification.
