Progression

Business Studies is a valuable subject and many of our students go on to study the subject at university. It is a potentially useful subject for all students – today’s A Level students are the managers of tomorrow – and you will find it really valuable to gain an insight into how business operates. It is also very useful if you think that you will want to set up your own business one day.
