BUSINESS STUDIES
ASTUDIAETHAU BUSNES
Business Studies will give students a solid grounding in many of the skills required for business life in today’s rapidly
changing world. It is a real life subject, which is happening around us all of the time and students are encouraged to
keep up to date with current business issues through TV, newspapers and the internet. The course assumes no prior
knowledge of business and you do NOT have to have studied GCSE Business Studies.
Business Studies is a potential for everybody because virtually everyone will experience working in a business
organisation of one kind or another. Business Studies is a subject that can happily work with any combination of subjects
both of a science and arts nature. The majority of pupils go on to university where Business Studies represents by far
the largest single subject in the university sector. For potential employers, the broad study base of the subject and the
balance of numerical and written skills is an ideal foundation for the recruitment of students for managerial positions.
