Course Description

Business (Awarding Body: AQA)


A-Level Business introduces students to the fundamental principles of all business, and covers main business functions such as: marketing, finance, operations and human resources. It outlines the way businesses have to co-ordinate, measure and adjust these four aspects to remain competitive but profitable.

In addition to this you will study how to measure corporate performance through analysis of changing external influences on business including technology, competition, the economy and globalisation and finally to compare how different businesses manage change.

You will be assessed entirely through examination and there is no coursework component at this time.

Other Important Information

We strongly encourage students to purchase appropriate textbooks for each subject. More detail will be given to you during enrolment.

If you have started A Levels elsewhere, you may be able to transfer to MidKent College. We will interview applicants to discuss what they had studied to date and with what examining board. We can then decide on an individual basis if a transfer to the college is appropriate.
