Why study Business?
Business Studies is a popular choice with
students at GCSE and A Level in Brighton and
Hove. It is an academic subject that really
reflects the world of work, and whatever your
path in later life, you will almost certainly
benefit from having a good grasp of the concepts,
whether you become a sole trader (work for
yourself), or an employee of a massive
multinational company.

Lets get a perspective from a recent student,
Dan from Hove Dan studied Business at GCSE, and
A Level and now has a degree Dan picks up the
story Business was my favorite subject at
school, by a long way. I liked the way I could
instantly relate it to examples I could see
around me. I liked the idea of management, or
maybe self-employment, and it was a great choice
for many careers. As I have developed and done
part-time jobs, it has really helped to have an
understanding of business disciplines.

Dan, however, had undiagnosed dyslexia at school
and sixth form. He continues It manifested as
being behind all of the time, my reading speed
was slow, and the teacher was moving on before I
had even finished reading the activity, I did
feel a bit behind, as I really wanted to engage
with the activities, but just couldnt keep up.
Unsurprisingly Dans academic results were
disappointing, but he did have enough to enable
him to enroll on a Foundation degree at a local
FE college. Here, he managed to get a full
learning needs assessment, and Dan says My needs
were based around having severe dyslexia. That
was amazing, to have an explanation for many
things, and being able to identify strategies to
deal with those was great, and for the first
time, I didnt feel inferior to my peers!

Dan had a business studies tutor throughout his
course and the relationship was very successful
what did the business studies tutor help you with
Dan? Everything firstly he always helped me
understand the assessment criteria. He really
helped me manifest my own ideas, and structure
written content, he was really positive and
always saw the best in me!. What other skills
have you picked up by studying Business with your
tutor? Well I have really improved my soft
skills, like time management, teamwork,
communication, and presentations my all-round
performance and confidence has really grown. Dan
is too modest to tell you that he was successful
on the Foundation Degree and enrolled on the
final top-up, and graduated from Brighton
University this year with a First in BSc.
Business Management. Some journey!

Anything else Dan? Well, this final year, we
looked at really current material and had to do
case studies regarding things like Brexit and
Covid. I had to identify a business that had
overcome those external factors and grown. It was
REALLY interesting talking to business owners,
and I found one that had Pivoted within 2 weeks
of lockdown, and not only survived, but increased
turnover by 4 studying that was really
interesting, and spurred me on even
more!   Written by Ron- Business Studies Tutor
