Business Studies
The Business Studies department supports the sixth form curriculum at MTGS,
offering Business Studies at both AS and A2 level.
The current syllabus offered has been designed to allow the integration of
business themes such as innovation and change, social and environmental
responsibilities, takeovers and mergers and ethical considerations.
There are five main syllabus areas with the sixth section drawing material together,
as a whole, under integrating themes.
1. Marketing
2. Accounting and Finance
3. Operations Management
4. People
5. External Influences
6. Objectives and Strategy
AS and A2 Business Studies lays appropriate foundations for further study of
Business Studies or related subjects at Higher Education.
The Business Studies department encourages pupils to experience the business
environment via a range of business related competitions and projects.
Recent competitions have included the Young Enterprise Scheme, Consumer of
the Year Award and the Merseyside Industry and Commerce Award (MICA).
Currently the department offers all L6 pupils the opportunity to participate in
MICA projects. Major businesses throughout the Merseyside area have set
business problems for pupils to solve during their L6 year.
The pupils at MTGS have found the MICA projects previously set both stimulating
and enjoyable and have achieved their gold Crest award
