Business Administration and Management (T Level)

T levels are set at a high level 3 qualification standard, with significant and challenging content and externally assessed exams. This is not only classroom based, but employer project and industry placement (and is widely described to be more like a level 3.5). The amount and level of written work required means that it would not be possible to achieve the qualification without a strong standard of English writing.

Enrolment on an T Level programme requires a minimum of 5 GCSEs at grades 9 - 4, including English and maths.

Specific criteria for this subject:

• A minimum average point score of 4.25
• Maths: Grade 5
• English: Grade 5
• Two other subjects at grades 4 - 5

The T Level in Business Administration and Management helps students to learn about business operation and strategic leadership; students can apply their learning through a compulsory work placement in a business-related area.

You will develop an understanding of a broad range of issues relevant to the sector, including

• Business context: an overview of organisational cultures and values, different types of internal and external stakeholders, different forms of governance and the impact of organisations on society and the environment

• Business behaviours: the importance of good communication and adapting social communication styles to professional standards and according to purpose, medium and audience
