Course summary

This diploma allows you to combine business management with French, German or Spanish. You’ll divide your study equally between both subjects. It offers a solid grounding in key concepts associated with business management and in the use of your chosen language. You’ll explore how businesses develop strategies, handle risk and take decisions. You’ll see what’s involved in functions such as marketing, accounting and finance. Combining this with the study of a modern language opens doors to other cultures and communities, and can provide a key to the global workplace. The name of your diploma will reflect your chosen language (e.g. Diploma of Higher Education in Business Management and German). Key features of the course

  • Develops a solid understanding of business organisations and their key elements.
  • Explores wider considerations such as environments, markets and processes, and how they work together.
  • Develops you into an independent user of your chosen language, reaching level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
  • Develops solid knowledge of the cultures that use your chosen language.
  • Improves competence in intercultural communication.

Modules

This diploma has two stages. In Stage 1, you’ll study an introductory business management module. You’ll choose your language and study two language modules. Next, in Stage 2, you’ll study your second business management module and a module in your chosen language.
