The Admissions Tutor at LSE informed one of our Business Studies students
last September that A Level Business Studies was not a 'proper' subject. I
took this up with Ian Marcouse who tried to contact the person concerned at
LSE, but he was unavailable! Students with BS A Level have in the past got
into Oxbridge, but we have not yet been successful in getting them onto the
actual business courses.
