An enterprising global perspective

This innovative specification allows students to follow one of two pathways: either Business Studies or an integrated Economics and Business route. The core units are centred on Entrepreneurial Skills at Advanced Subsidiary (AS) and a Global Perspective at Advanced level (A2).

‘Edexcel’s spec offers students the best accessibility in terms of learning about business in an entrepreneurial context.  It’s more relevant for students to develop skills and expertise that can help them fulfil self-employment opportunities as well as opportunities within large corporate companies. 
The course also allows students to relate to their experiences with Young Enterprise and other extra-curriculum activity. 
Additionally, the A2 unit on International Business gives far more prominence to this aspect of business than other awarding bodies’ specs and will therefore make this course seem more up to date by many teachers given the global nature of business today.’
