Business and Computing
Our inspiring and exciting curriculum is designed to equip students with essential skills for the modern world with courses that blend theoretical knowledge with practical application that prepare students to excel in both business and technology areas.
Whether its interest in entrepreneurship, management, software development, or IT, our dynamic programme of subjects is tailored to ignite our students’ passion and drive for future success where they can explore, innovate, and lead in the ever-evolving fields of business and computing.
This course is ideal for students who want to study business alongside other A levels or vocational subjects. It focuses on how businesses operate in the real world, combining core business theory with practical, applied learning.
Students explore key areas such as the business environment, marketing, finance, and human resources, using real organisations as case studies. Assessment is a combination of coursework and exams, making it well suited to students who perform best through structured, ongoing assessment rather than relying entirely on final exams.
The course develops highly valued skills including analysis, problem solving, communication, teamwork and independent research, all of which are sought after by universities, employers and apprenticeship providers.
This course offers an exciting opportunity for students with a strong interest in business who want a more in-depth, vocational route as part of their post-16 programme.
Students study a broader range of units and develop a deeper understanding of how organisations make decisions, manage people, market products and respond to external influences. Learning is highly applied, with students completing extended coursework projects and analysing real businesses to build practical, transferable skills.
This course is particularly suited to motivated students who enjoy applied learning, independent work and sustained projects. It provides a strong foundation for progression to university, higher apprenticeships or employment in areas such as business management, marketing, finance and entrepreneurship.
