AS/A2 IN LEISURE STUDIES One Year AS-Level Course or Full Two Year A-Level Course
Why Study Leisure Studies?
This subject encourages students to explore the breadth of this extremely varied and growing sector. The course will focus upon developing an understanding of the leisure industry’s structure and make students aware of the knowledge, understanding and skills required of an employee working in the industry.
In order to study this subject successfully you will need to be self motivated and keen to research independently, using a wide range of sources.
