COURSE CURRICULUM

The BSc Business and Management with a Modern Language programme combines business management education with advanced language and cultural studies, preparing students for careers in an increasingly global and interconnected business environment. During the first year, students build a strong foundation in business through modules in marketing, management, accounting, data analytics, and professional development while beginning or advancing their studies in a modern language, including French, German, Italian, or Spanish. Students also explore the history, culture, and society associated with their chosen language, gaining valuable intercultural understanding and communication skills. In the second year, the programme develops knowledge of business strategy, human resource management, sustainability, and organisational behaviour alongside more advanced language and cultural modules tailored to each language pathway. Students can also choose optional modules in areas such as entrepreneurship, international business, marketing, leadership, consumer behaviour, and comparative international management, allowing them to customise their studies according to their interests and career goals. The final year focuses on personal leadership development and advanced language proficiency, enabling students to communicate fluently in professional and business contexts. Specialised language modules explore topics such as history, identity, society, culture, politics, and business communication in the chosen language, while a wide range of optional business modules includes international marketing, project management, digital marketing, social enterprise, corporate strategy, information systems, entrepreneurship, international human resource management, commercial law, and cross-cultural marketing. Throughout the programme, students develop essential skills in communication, leadership, problem-solving, intercultural awareness, and global business management. The combination of business expertise and foreign language proficiency makes graduates highly attractive to multinational companies and international organisations. Overall, the programme prepares students for careers in international business, global marketing, management consultancy, international trade, diplomacy, finance, multinational corporations, and any profession that requires strong business knowledge combined with excellent language and cross-cultural communication skills.
