Business Studies

Business is a key dimension of modern society and Scotland has been in the vanguard of enterprise education. There has been a growing recognition of the role business education can play in preparing students for employment, both by extending their understanding of business and by developing core skills of problem-solving, working with others and information technology.

The Businness Studies Department contributes to three main areas of the curriculum.

  • S1/2 Information Technology.
  • Administration is the study of the use and communication of business information. Learners will gain an understanding of the importance of such information for businesses and the skills necessary to make it effective.
  • Business Management aims to develop skills and knowledge which will allow students to access, understand and contribute to the dynamic and complex business and information environment.
