Why Study A Level Business With Us?

Business is a dynamic and relevant subject that equips students with the skills and knowledge to understand how organisations operate in a global economy. At Oxford Online School, we offer a comprehensive A Level Business course designed for students who want to explore enterprise, strategy, and innovation through the British curriculum.

Our programme suits both traditional and non-traditional learners. Whether you are a homeschooling student, an aspiring entrepreneur, or planning a degree in business, management or economics, this course lays the academic and practical foundation for your future success.

Real-Time Support From UK-Based Business Teachers

All lessons are delivered live by qualified, UK-based teachers who bring real-world insight and academic expertise into every session. Our teaching approach is based on the principles of flipped learning, encouraging students to engage with preparatory material before class, so that lesson time can be used for deeper discussion, critical analysis, and application.

Students enrolled on our full-time programme are automatically included in our UPP (University Preparation and Progression) programme. This includes:

• One-to-one academic mentoring throughout the course
• Participation in our Cosmopolitan Future extracurricular programme
• Completion of the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), which is compulsory for all full-time A Level students

Academic mentors work hand-in-hand with the teaching faculty to ensure students receive personalised guidance and are offered a wide range of extracurricular opportunities.

What You’ll Study

The course covers both micro and macro aspects of business, ensuring students develop a comprehensive understanding of key functional areas:

• Marketing – branding, pricing, market research and digital marketing
• Operations – production, efficiency, and innovation
• Finance – budgeting, cash flow, profit and financial ratios
• Human Resources – motivation, leadership, recruitment and organisational structure
• Strategic Decision-Making – business growth, risk, and sustainability in a global context

Students will also explore real-life case studies and learn how to apply business theory in practical and engaging ways.

Exam Board & How You’ll Be Graded

Oxford Online School follows the Pearson Edexcel International A Level (IAL) specification for Business. This qualification is assessed through written examination only and contains no coursework.

Assessment is structured into units that focus on business functions and global business issues. In addition to final exams, students at Oxford Online School complete regular homework, take part in termly project-based assessments, and sit full mock exams to track their progress and ensure readiness.

Our teaching prepares students to think critically, evaluate evidence, and build well-structured arguments. Learners consistently achieve excellent results and go on to study business, management, and economics at leading universities.
