Welcome to your Wolsey Hall IGCSE Business Studies Course

This Sample shows One module from the full course and is designed to give you a flavour of the Wolsey Hall approach to home study.

STUDYING BUSINESS

Business Studies is a very practical subject — in essence, it is the study of applying ideas to create or add value to a product or service in order to generate a profit. To run a business you need to learn how to research information using data processing skills and then develop ideas based on that information to solve problems. Business also involves people, so communication and interpersonal skills are vitally important as well.

In this Cambridge IGCSE course, students develop an understanding of business activity in the public and private sectors, and the importance of innovation and change. You will find out how the major types of business organisation are established, financed and run, and how their activities are regulated. Factors influencing business decision-making are also considered, as are the essential values of cooperation and interdependence.  You will also learn about employment legislation as well as the ethical and environmental issues that make business a constantly dynamic environment.

STUDYING WITH WOLSEY HALL

Course Structure

Each of our Wolsey Hall courses is written around a specialist coursebook which has been chosen by our tutor team as the best available text for each syllabus. You will be guided through this book by working through a series of online modules which break the course down into manageable chunks and which contain links to extensive online resources. Each module ends with an interactive quiz to assess your learning followed by an assignment which is submitted online and marked by your Course Tutor who will return it to you with a grade and detailed feedback.

Course Support

When you enrol with Wolsey Hall you will be appointed a Student Progress Manager who is your key point of contact with the College. They will support you throughout your course and help you keep to your assignment schedule. You will begin your course with an online chat with your Course Tutor which will give you an opportunity to discuss the course in more detail and ask any questions you may have. From then on, you will be able to message your Course Tutor via the Canvas Messaging System at any time if you require guidance.

We will support you at every stage in your studies. To help you get the most out of your course, we have produced a comprehensive Course Guide. We strongly encourage you to read through this Course Guide before you begin your studies.
