Our curriculum intent
|
Business students develop an understanding of the economic system in which they will work and acquire knowledge of business and economic terms and processes. We aim to create outstanding business students. The intent of the curriculum is to develop students’ understanding of how the local/national/ global economy works through evaluating and analysing economic issues, problems and institutions that affect everyday life. Also, to equip students with the appropriate knowledge to study the subject at a higher level and to develop employability skills for the future. Business is a dynamic subject. Students will learn about the diverse nature of business enterprise and the interdependence of the various parts of the business world. They will explore business success and failure, investigate local, national, and global business markets, and understand how businesses must adapt and respond strategically to the changing environment in which they operate to survive and grow. This constant evolutionary process makes business a fascinating subject. By studying business, students will develop transferable skills that prepare them for university study or entry into the workforce. They will become skilled in decision-making, problem-solving, applying numerical skills (including financial analysis and data analysis), and understanding the business environment. They will also develop commercial awareness.
