Business Studies

Business Studies is a growing subject, not only at BRGS, but nationally as well. The Business and working environment of the UK is changing rapidly and this AS/A2 level provides a vital insight into how industry reacts to such changes.

The course examines the following elements of industry:

» Marketing
» Production
» Statistical decision making
» Personnel
» Accounting
» The Economy


Business Studies is a stimulating AS/A2 geared at hard working, able students who are looking for top university places. There is a significant element of mathematics in the course thus students are required to have a good knowledge of mathematics, even if they are not studying this at AS/A2 level.

Students must also have an interest in today's current business affairs and be prepared to undertake in-depth research into current issues in their own time.
Business Studies is usually best studied alongside maths (mechanics or statistics), the sciences and social sciences (economics and sociology).
