Business (Applied)

Business (Applied)

This course is ideal for A-Level students who wish to study Business as one of their three choices. It is an A-Level equivalent programme that is widely accepted (with two A-Levels) at most universities — including the prestigious Russell Group.

It is designed so that students in the second year of their studies can complete their coursework unit and devote their revision at this crucial time to their other two A-Level subjects. This should then help the students to increase their overall grade profile. 

This course is a Level 3 National Extended Certificate equivalent to one A-Level and can be studied as part of an A-Level programme.
