It may be possible to study this subject on a part-time basis. The Business Studies A Level aims to encourage candidates to develop a critical understanding of business organisations, the markets they serve and the process of adding value. In addition, candidates will develop an awareness of the impact external factors, such as economic, ethical, governmental and legal issues have on businesses. They will also acquire a range of skills, including decision-making, problem solving and an ability to evaluate where appropriate.

A Level study is primarily intended to provide entry to Higher Education. Subject choices are vital for many degree subjects so students should research university entry requirements if they have specific degree subjects in mind.
