What we are trying to achieve with students

In the Business Studies and Economics department we endeavour to ensure pupils develop lively and enquiring minds with an ability to question and argue rationally about enterprise, business and economics – as well as the impact of these subjects upon their social development for the future.

The courses run by the Business Department cover all aspects of Marketing, Finance, Administration, Production and Human Resources in all type and size of Business. The study of Economics covers macro and micro economics and their impact on business and the economic prosperity of the UK.
