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.
A common GCSE and
A Level taken in the
UK, it is often accused of
dumbing down the more academically rigorous GCSE of
Economics. The subject is generally not considered a 'traditional academic subject,' and as a result universities prefer the more academically rigorous GCSE and A Level of Economics. This view is taken by many universities, including the
University of Cambridge who clearly state this in their
online prospectus.
Recently, the new suite of GCSE and
A Level in applied subjects has included Business. Business Studies is generally seen to be more theoretical and conceptual as opposed to the new vocationally focused Applied Business. Both courses effectively cover the same concepts but the Applied Business course has a much more practical emphasis. This is in line with the UK government's vision for secondary eduction.
Secondary school is a term used to describe an institution where the final stage of compulsory schooling, known as secondary education, takes place. It follows on from primary or elementary education.
