Business 9609

Cambridge International AS & A Level Business (9609) is an internationally recognised qualification, typically studied by learners aged 16–19. No previous study of Business is required. The AS Level is usually completed in one academic year, while the full A Level normally takes two years. AS candidates take two examination papers in one series; A Level candidates take four papers, either in one series or through a staged route. The course develops business understanding, analytical judgement and effective decision-making.

You will study how businesses operate, grow and respond to changing environments. Major areas include enterprise, human resource management, marketing, operations, finance, accounting and business strategy. You will apply quantitative and qualitative information to realistic business situations, evaluate alternative courses of action and make justified recommendations. These skills support progression to university courses such as business management, marketing, finance, accounting, economics, entrepreneurship and human resources, while preparing you for careers in management, consultancy, banking, operations, marketing and enterprise development.
