Why study Business Studies?
Business Studies looks at how different types of organisations are set up, run and make decisions, across all kinds of industries.
You’ll develop business ideas, use maths skills to analyse data, and build communication skills through presentations and reports – all highly transferable skills that employers value.
Business Studies can lead into a wide range of careers such as marketing, HR, finance and law. Studied alongside Maths, it can open doors into careers in finance – or running your own business one day.
