Business in the Sixth Form
A-level Business Studies covers many parts of the GCSE specification, but takes it to a more advanced level. There is a greater focus on understanding a range of decision making techniques and on globalisation, and this prepares students for living in the modern business world.

Many students go on to take a business-related degree at University, with Business Management being particularly popular, and many universities offer a year in industry to bring to life the theory studied and to give individuals an edge in the employment market after graduation. There are an exciting and diverse range of future careers available to students studying Business Studies from Marketing Designer to Accountant, Company Director to Human Resources Manager. Business students are highly regarded due to the variety of skills and knowledge that they possess and this makes them suitable for most professions.
