Business Studies


Subject Content Quick Test Revision Marks

Introduction

Business Studies is an option subject at GCSE level, though you will have come across aspects of it in other subjects before and maybe you have a part-time job already. In Business you will learn how to survive in the real world - the world of work. We look at case studies of existing businesses and business situations. You will have to research to collect information and then analyse it to make sense of it. You will have the opportunity to design literature of your own to apply your learning.

There should be opportunities for trips out to see how current companies operate and how they work together. We look at the combination of commerce and public sector provision in local towns.

You may also have the chance to set up your own company and make profit of your own. This might involve making (or buying) and selling products or offering a service. To succeed you will need drive, attention to detail, a professional approach and – lots of enthusiasm!

We hope that you will find something in the varied course to take your interest
