Business studies is the name of an academic subject taught at higher level in Australia Ireland and the United Kingdom (at both GCSE and A Level in the UK) and at university level in many countries. Its study combines accounting, economics, finance, marketing and organisational behavior, however these topics are taught somewhat differently depending on which board the examinations are sat on.
The General Certificate of Secondary Education in Business Studies is taken through a combination of a coursework project and an exam. Cambridge University suggests that studying Advanced Level Business Studies "provides a less effective preparation for [their] courses":1
