# Business Studies and Economics

**Intent**

**BTEC Level 2 Award in Enterprise – Year 10 &amp; 11**

Students will develop knowledge and understanding of the different types of enterprise and their ownership, looking at the characteristics of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs with reasons for levels of success. Students will explore the different promotional methods used by enterprises and the factors that influence how enterprises identify and target their market, as well as explore financial documents and how to use them to monitor and improve the performance of an enterprise in order to make decisions and recommend strategies. Students will also plan the setting up of a micro-enterprise activity and plan and pitch the idea using their knowledge from all the material covered.

**BTEC Level 3 Extended Certificate in Business (Year 12 &amp; Year 13)**

Students will learn about the business sector alongside other fields of study, with a view to progressing to a wide range of higher education courses, not necessarily in business-related subjects. It is designed to be taken as part of a programme of study that includes other appropriate BTEC Nationals or A Levels.
