Interested in business but not sure yet whether you’re heading for marketing, management or money? This two-year programme gives you the best of both worlds: a broad business qualification plus a brand-new V Level in Accounting and Finance – a combination employers value and universities recognise.
- Entry Criteria
4 GCSEs (9-4) including English Language and Maths.
- What will I study?
In business, you’ll explore how organisations are run, develop a marketing campaign, get to grips with personal and business finance, plan and manage a live event and learn the principles of management. Your V Level adds the numbers side: bookkeeping, financial statements, budgeting and forecasting, and how money moves through a business. You’ll work on case studies with real companies, use spreadsheets like a pro, make data-driven decisions and present your ideas – practical skills for any workplace.
- Future Prospects
Progress to university to study business, accounting and finance, economics or management – local universities including the University of Hertfordshire, the University of Bedfordshire and the University of Northampton accept V Levels on UCAS points. Or step into an apprenticeship or job as an accounts assistant, finance trainee, business administrator or sales and marketing assistant, with routes into professional qualifications such as AAT.
