Advanced Higher Business Management

We will review and update the European Union content in the Advanced Higher course specification before next session (2024-25).

While there are no modifications to assessment for session 2023-24 onwards, and therefore the whole course can be assessed, please note that the 2024 question paper will not ask any direct questions on the European Union.

Based on feedback from the teaching profession, and as part of our ongoing review and maintenance of National Courses, we’re updating the ‘course content’ section of the Advanced Higher Business Management course specification.

Examples of clarifications to content topic areas include:

Global Business: Effect of the UK trading with: EU, ASEAN, China

We’ve removed or amended text relating directly to the UK or UK organisations regarding trade.

Current issues: Business ethics, environmental issues and technological developments

We’ve amended the text to better define what should be covered in relation to business ethics, environmental issues, and pressures on organisations.

Management: Roles of management and management theorists

We’ve reformatted the text and provided additional information ontheorists and theories that could be covered.

Leadership: leadership theories

We’ve provided additional information on theorists and theories that could be covered.

Equality and Diversity: improving diversity and benefits and challenges

We’ve provided additional information to help define what content could be delivered for this topic.

The updated course specification will be available by the end of June and will be valid for session 2024-25 onwards.
