Business Studies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Business Studies is the name of an academic subject taught at secondary level in Australia, India, Ireland and the United Kingdom (at both GCSE and A Level in the UK) and at university level in many countries. Its study combines accounting, economics, finance, marketing and organisational behavior, however these topics are taught somewhat differently depending on which board the examinations are sat on.

A common GCSE and A Level taken in the UK. Recently, the new suite of GCSE and A Level in applied subjects has included Business. Business Studies is generally seen to be more theoretical, conceptual and academically more rigorous than the new vocationally focused Applied Business. The Applied Business course has a much more practical emphasis. This is in line with the UK government's vision for secondary education.
