Top three reasons to choose Business
1 Immerse yourself in real world business and global commerce. 2 Understand the world around you from marketing to business failure: the success of Domino’s
Pizza; Coca Cola’s big marketing mistake; the legitimacy of Uber; and discover what Tesla actually do – they do not make cars! 3 Challenge yourself to grapple with the big business problems of the day which might involve a taste test; investigating Dyson’s decision to start making cars and considering BKHS Bablake’s marketing and hierarchy.
What grades and skills do you need to study Business?
It does not matter if you haven’t studied Business before. You might have an interest in business, and want to start your own one day. You may have an enquiring mind and be interested in learning about the world around you, how businesses work and what challenges they face.
The following skills are also advantageous: a desire for exploration of the real world, collaboration, creativity, communication, problem solving, decision making, applying numerical skills: finance and working with data, research, analysis, evaluation, and extended writing.
What next?
Business will prepare you to work with others, in an organisation or indeed setup by yourself. This means Business is useful for all career paths but specifically studying this course will help you into marketing, banking, finance, accountancy, management consultancy, self-employment, international business, not-for-profit charities and NGOs.
