Business

The AQA A Level in Business is a two year course. In Year 1 students will study the core areas of business including leadership & management, marketing, operations, finance and human resources.

In year 2 students will build on these functional areas and explore business strategy and the impact of internal & external factors that influence the strategic direction of business. Students explore the interrelated nature of business using business models, theories and techniques to support analysis of contemporary business issues and situations.

The content is designed to engage students through topics and issues that are relevant in today’s society; they will study key contemporary developments such as digital technology and business ethics, and globalisation and will examine a wide range of Businesses in the real world in detailed case study analysis.

Studying A Level Business will give students a critical understanding of organisations, the markets they service and the process of adding value through consideration of the internal workings and management of profit-making and non profit-making organisations.

Detailed and in depth study of the external environment is also undertaken to enable students to gain a full understanding of how Businesses operate. All the skills and knowledge gained from this course are highly regarded by both universities and employers.
