It suggests that it would be appropriate for such a qualification to take the form of a distinctive honours degree of the new Council for National Academic Awards.

The introduction of a nationally recognised qualification in business studies at this level will mean 201W that opportunities in further education for business careers are broadly in line with those for careers in science and technology.
