IGCSE Business Studies Syllabus Overview

The IGCSE Business Studies syllabus introduces students to the fundamental principles of business and their practical applications. It covers a range of topics that provide a solid foundation for further studies in business and related fields.

Topics

  • Understanding Business Activity
  • People in Business
  • Marketing
  • Operations Management
  • Financial Information and Decisions
  • External Influences on Business Activity

Assessment Criteria

The IGCSE Business Studies assessment consists of two written examinations, ensuring students demonstrate both theoretical understanding and analytical skills.

Paper 1: Short Answer and Data Response

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Weighting: 50% of final grade

Format: Four questions requiring a mixture of short answers and structured data responses

Paper 2: Case Study

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Weighting: 50% of final grade

Format: Four questions based on a case study, provided as an insert with the paper

In the Cambridge IGCSE Business Studies (0450) syllabus, there is no distinction between Core and Extended curricula; all students follow the same comprehensive syllabus. This unified approach ensures that all learners are assessed on the same content and have access to the full range of grades, from A* to G.

This structure differs from some other IGCSE subjects, such as Mathematics or Sciences, which offer separate Core and Extended curricula to cater to varying student abilities. In Business Studies, however, the single-tiered syllabus is designed to accommodate the full spectrum of student performance within one comprehensive framework.

Very grateful for the help from her tuition teachers

Mindlab ParentTestimonial 2

S. found Ms Jamuna very good at explaining things which help in recent scores. Her notes were very good and if she did not understand, she would patiently try other methods to explain her point.

Mr Kin Leong was helpful in maintaining her scores in Math and he did try to challenge her in approaching solving problems in different ways and at the same time motivating her.

S. is very grateful for the help from her tuition teachers. I am just as grateful because your staff have always been approachable and helpful in making class changes, enquiries and reminders. I have not met any of them but they have always effused an amicable and helpful disposition.

Without their guidance, I would not have achieved these scores

Mindlab Student Testimonial 1

In regards to the IB grades, my school originally predicted me a 35/45. However, I received a higher score than what was predicted!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mindlab and their teachers for their guidance and support provided. I received a 5/7 in my English IA; however, due to my bad school reputation, the grade wasn’t increased. This was the only subject I missed by a point and Math SL.

Every Mindlab tutor has been both very kind and patient in guiding me well and answering all my queries patiently. Without their guidance, I would not have achieved these scores. I am thankful to Mindlab. Please convey my regards and thanks to the teachers.
