Course summary

This Modern Languages and Business Studies degree prepares you for a global career with business expertise and language skills.

Course overview

This four-year Modern Languages and Business Studies BA Honours degree will equip you with the skills and knowledge that are highly prized by employers.

With a combination of language and business studies, you'll develop your skills in one or two languages – from a choice of Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish – as well as the principles and practice of business management, following modules such as:

  • organisational behaviour
  • marketing
  • human resource management

You will study language modules to help you develop near-native fluency alongside optional modules that will give you an insight into the cultures of the languages you are studying.

You'll become a confident multilinguist, ready to embark on your career journey as a global citizen.

Teaching methods

The majority of language modules are taught by native speakers. You also work in language laboratories and undertake self-study in our award-winning Language Resource Centre.

Year abroad

This Modern Languages degree includes a compulsory year abroad.

Students studying a European language can:

  • study at one of our partner universities
  • undertake a work or voluntary placement
  • undertake a combination of both (ensuring they do not overlap)

You usually divide the year between the countries relating to your chosen languages, although it may be possible to spend the entire year in one country.

If you are studying three languages we encourage you to spend some time during the summer vacation in the country of your third language.

If you're studying Chinese or Japanese, you'll spend the year studying at one of our partner universities in China or Japan.

Your future

Ability in languages is highly regarded by employers across all sectors, including industry and business. Employers value the linguistic skills and cultural awareness of graduates.

With ever more European and international connections, language skills are important and give you a real advantage in applying for a wide range of graduate jobs.

Graduates into a range of roles where their language skills are desirable, such as the media, teaching, sales, e-commerce, and areas of finance.
