Course summary

Overview Prepare to excel in business on a global stage by combining language studies with a management course. You’ll become fluent not only in your chosen language, but also in the societies and cultures where those languages are spoken. Meanwhile, you’ll develop your understanding of global business and discover the essentials of business, marketing, and intercultural communication. By the end of your degree, you’ll be able to demonstrate critical thinking, sophisticated expression, and independence in your chosen language, and will know how to make sound business decisions. Combining the study of management with a Modern Language degree will open up a wealth of opportunities in any sector that has global interests and multilingual and multicultural workforces. About This Course On this course you will learn your chosen language to degree level while exploring the theory and practice of business management, and the role of language and translation in today’s global communication networks. Your language learning will involve reading and listening comprehension, translation from and to English, précis and paraphrase work, the study of different styles and registers, lexical exercises, and oral work. In all of these activities, you’ll use contemporary rather than literary or historical materials. You'll put theory into practice on your year abroad as you push your language and communication skills to the next level, before choosing from advanced language modules in your final year. You can take another language as part of your degree or as a non-credit module with certification. Subject to availability, you can choose from Arabic, British Sign Language, Chinese French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Russian and Advanced English. Alongside developing your language competence, you'll develop your business acumen by undertaking modules that will give you a solid foundation in business management. Later in your degree, you will have the chance to specialise in marketing, business ethics, or intercultural communication. You’ll apply your language and cultural knowledge to a range of real-world situations, engaging in authentic assessments that will help you develop a wide range of skills. These will not only include written and spoken skills, but also project management, teamwork and interpersonal skills, and leadership skills, all preparing you to engage in today's globalised world.
