Business Studies analyses and evaluates the decisions business strategy that firms have to make in order to achieve their objectives. It includes the understanding of business functions for example marketing and management accounting which you need to know in order to suggest or even evaluate a firm's strategy in a given situation. The course also looks in detail at external factors including all the main macro economic factors like interest rates and The Economic Cycle so there is an overlap with pure Economics here. Students will discover what goes on behind boardroom doors, how people work together to achieve company aims, how people work against each other to fulfil their own ambitions. Business courses generally cover four areas: Human Resources, Marketing, Finance and Operations Management. Many students have ambitions to work in a management role with large successful multinationals or to start their own business from scratch. The skills and knowledge acquired will give students a fantastic insight to these options as well as underpinning future study in other related areas such as Law, Accounting or languages.
