COURSE CURRICULUM

The Trinity College Dublin Business Studies and Spanish program is a four-year degree that combines rigorous business education with advanced Spanish language and cultural studies. In the first and second years, students complete around 18–20 hours of lectures and tutorials per week, supported by extensive independent study. These years include core modules such as sustainable development, management and organisation, research methods, marketing, accounting, finance, operations management, organisational behaviour, innovation, and climate change, alongside Spanish language and business communication. Students also study the society, institutions, culture, and economic environment of Spanish-speaking regions and may take optional modules in literature and film depending on their pathway. The third year is spent abroad at a partner university or business school in a Spanish-speaking country, where most teaching and assessments are conducted in Spanish. Students may also complete a work placement of around two months to gain practical experience in the local business environment. In the fourth year, students undertake a Capstone research module focused 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 Spanish language skills in writing, speaking, translation, and business communication, preparing for careers in international business, management, consultancy, public service, or further postgraduate study.
