Course Overview
Course Overview
Studying business in this Pearson Edexcel course, provides an opportunity for you to study the real world of business, finding out along the way why businesses exist and what they do to be successful. You will learn that businesses are likely to be profitable if they meet the needs and wants of their customers but that profit is not the only measure of success. We want students to be genuinely interested in asking why some firms thrive and others fail and likewise with entire economies.

In Theme 1: Marketing and People and Theme 2: Managing Business Activities you will build knowledge of core business concepts and apply them to business contexts to develop a broad understanding of how businesses work. In Theme 3: Business Decisions and Strategy and Theme 4: Global Business you will develop a breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding, with applications to a wider range of contexts and more complex business information, requiring you to take a more strategic view of business opportunities and issues.
This course offers you the chance to develop skills, knowledge and understanding which will prepare you for entry to the workplace, perhaps on an apprenticeship in business finance or management or onto a university course. Many students have gone into higher education degree courses in business or specific aspects of business. An increasing number are finding apprenticeships with big accounting firms, manufacturing firms and public sector organisations.
