Norwich High School for Girls Sixth Form offers Business Studies and Economics at A Level. Both subjects are rigorous academic options favoured by universities and employers. Business Studies and Economics A Level boost employability, with the average graduate of both subjects earning a top-10 starting salary upon leaving university.
Mrs Wells explained: “Economics is the study of how humans use resources such as land or capital to meet people’s needs for goods and services. Business Studies, on the other hand, is an interdisciplinary subject mixing accountancy, HR, marketing, economics and operations. There really is something for everyone within Business Studies and Economics.”
Business Studies and Economics A Levels complement practical, as well as mathematical, subjects. “Many of our students combine Business Studies with Design Technology or Textiles,” said Mrs Wells. “It gives them the marketing skills they’ll need to succeed in the creative industries. The students learn to innovate, adapt and thrive in the ever-evolving world of work.
