The Extended Project Qualification

A Level Business gives students an understanding of how organisations operate in a competitive, fast-moving world. The specification explores leadership, decision-making, marketing, finance, operations and human resources, alongside the external influences that shape business behaviour including ethics, environmental, social and economics sustainability, digital and disruptive technology. Students learn how to analyse real companies, interpret data, evaluate strategic choices and understand the impact of globalisation and technology on modern markets.

Access to university to study business and management related courses. Previous years students have gained places at Aston, Bristol and UEA and careers in management, personnel, accountancy, marketing and sales, civil service and local government. Most career areas involve some aspect of business, so whatever occupation you decide to follow, an understanding of the principles of business will be helpful.
