BEGIN – IS THIS COURSE RIGHT FOR ME?

You should have an interest in how businesses work—covering areas like marketing, finance, and how brands grow. Being organised, meeting deadlines, and working well with others will help you succeed. If you enjoy problem-solving, coming up with ideas, and prefer a practical approach to learning, this course is a great fit. 

BELONG – WHY STUDY THIS WITH US?

This course goes beyond the classroom with trips, enrichment activities, and real-world opportunities. You’ll take part in events such as a mock apprenticeship assessment centre, pitch business ideas to local entrepreneurs, and manage your own projects. Along the way, you’ll develop essential employability skills like teamwork, communication, and leadership, while gaining insight into university and apprenticeship pathways.  

BEYOND – WHERE CAN THIS COURSE TAKE ME?

On completion, you’ll understand how successful businesses operate and have built valuable skills for your future. Many students progress to top universities, including Russell Group institutions, to study Business Management, Marketing, or Accounting and Finance. Others secure apprenticeships with major employers such as EY, PwC, and RSM, or with companies in marketing, retail, and events. Some go directly into employment in roles across finance, management, and sales. Whichever route you choose, you’ll leave confident and career-ready.
