COURSE CURRICULUM

The Trinity College Dublin Business Studies and Polish program is a four-year degree that combines a strong foundation in international business with advanced language learning and cultural immersion. In the first and second years, students attend around 18–20 hours of lectures and tutorials each week, supported by substantial independent study. These years include core modules such as sustainable development, management, research methods, marketing, accounting, finance, operations management, organisational behaviour, entrepreneurship, and climate change, alongside Polish language study and business communication. Students also examine the society, institutions, culture, and economic environment of Poland and may study literature and film depending on their language pathway. The third year is spent abroad at a partner university or business school in a Polish-speaking environment, where most teaching and assessment take place in Polish. Students may also complete a work placement of approximately two months to gain practical experience in the local business culture. In the fourth year, students complete a Capstone research module based on independent study and select advanced business modules such as international business, strategic management, finance, marketing, digital marketing, leadership, and social innovation. Alongside this, they continue developing their Polish language skills in writing, speaking, translation, and business communication, preparing them for careers in international business, public service, consultancy, or further postgraduate study.
