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 (at both GCSE, AS Level and A Level in the UK), as well as at university level in many countries. Its study combines accounting, economics, finance, marketing and organisational behaviour, however these topics are taught somewhat differently depending on which board the examinations are sat on.
The General Certificate of Secondary Education in Business Studies is taken through a combination of a coursework project and an exam. 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]
