Business students develop an understanding of the economic system they will work in and gain knowledge of the terms and processes of business and the economy.

We aim to create outstanding Business students. The intent of the curriculum is to develop students’ understanding of how the local/national/ global economy works through evaluating and analysing economic issues, problems and institutions that affect everyday life. Also, to equip students with the appropriate knowledge to study the subject at a higher level and to develop employability skills for the future.

Business is a dynamic subject. Students will learn about the diverse nature of business enterprise and the interdependence of the various parts of the business world. They will explore business success and business failure, investigate local, national and global business markets, and understand how businesses need to adapt and respond strategically to the changing environment in which they operate to survive and grow. This constant evolutionary process makes business a fascinating subject.

Through studying business, students will develop transferable skills that will prepare them for studying at university or moving into the world of work. They will become skilled in making decisions, solving problems, applying numerical skills (including understanding finance and working with data) and understanding the business environment. They will also develop commercial awareness.
