Business

Business offers a new and dynamic challenge to students who are looking for a more practical discipline. It covers all aspects of business and the likely challenges, from the start-up right through to the challenges facing multi-national businesses.

Through the study of Business students leave St. Mary’s not only with a qualification that can be used beyond the classroom but with the skills and confidence to use the theory that is taught. Many students go on to study a business related degree and they find the A Level Business course has prepared them very well for this.

The course is taught using a series of purpose-made publications covering all of the specification alongside past exam papers, individual research and the preparation of presentations. The course has a high mathematical content and students are given extra help with this aspect as and when needed.

Business complements many other A Level subjects such as Information Technology, Design & Technology, Mathematics, Sciences and Languages. And it provides a useful foundation for many degree courses such as Accountancy, Management, Information Technology, Law, Economics and of course Business.
