Business studies can be taken as part of the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) option for Year 10 and Year 11 at secondary school, or can be taken as part of a GCE Advanced Level (A-level) course in Year 12 and Year 13 in further education. It includes a range of subjects, which give the student general understanding of the various elements of running a business. Subjects covered include, but are not limited to: Business Organisation, People in Business, Marketing, Operations & Production, Finance, and Strategic Management.
University of Cambridge considers Business Studies not to be a 'traditional academic subject', although taking Business Studies individually will not disadvantage students as long as it is identified as 'essential' or 'desirable' for the course being applied for. It is also suitable when applying for economics at university, if the college the candidate comes from does not offer the economics A-level individually.
