Business studies is the name of an academic subject taught at higher level in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom, as well as at university level in many countries. Its study combines accounting, economics, finance, marketing and organisational behaviour.
Business studies can be taken as part of the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) option for Year 10 and Year 11 at secondary school, or can be taken as part of an GCE Advanced Level (A-level) course in Year 12 and Year 13 in further education.
Cambridge University considers Business Studies not to be a 'traditional academic subject', although taking Business Studies individually will not disadvantage students as long as it is identified as 'essential' or 'desirable' for the course being applied for. It is also suitable when applying for economics at university, if the college the candidate comes from does not offer the economics A-level individually.[1]
