Course summary

This degree allows you to combine business management with French, German or Spanish. You’ll divide your study equally between both subjects. 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 degree will reflect your chosen language (e.g. BA (Honours) Business Management and German). Key features of the course

  • Develops your 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 a proficient user of your chosen language, reaching level C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
  • Develops advanced knowledge of the cultures that use your chosen language.
  • Improves competence in intercultural communication.

Modules

This degree has three stages, each comprising 120 credits: In Stage 1, you’ll study a 60-credit introductory business management module. You’ll choose your language (French, German or Spanish) and study two 30-credit language modules. Next, in Stage 2, you’ll study your second 60-credit business management module and a 60-credit module in your chosen language. Finally, in Stage 3, you’ll study your last 60-credit business management module and another 60-credit module in your chosen language.
