Course Content (including module information)
Currently five language options are offered:
• French (Intermediate and Advanced)
• German (Advanced)
• Mandarin Chinese (Beginners)
• Portuguese (Beginners)
• Spanish (Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced)
In the first, second and fourth years of study, students will study 2 language modules alongside the management focused subject matter. In year 3 of the programme, students must successfully complete one management module which is spent on placement in a country where the language being studied is the dominant tongue.
Stage 1
Students take six compulsory modules, two of which are language focused. The remaining modules set the context and foundation for the remainder of the degree. The focus will be on organisations, their structures, behaviours and the changing external environment within which they operate.
Modules will cover accounting, economics, marketing principles and organisational behaviour.
Stage 2
Students again take two language modules alongside their management modules which in this year cover issues such as international business, decision-making through effective data analysis and interpretation and managing resources (e.g. operations and human).
Stage 3
Placement year
Stage 4
The final year of the programme will again see students take two language modules. Additionally, students will take modules that cover issues such as business ethics and strategic management and will also be afforded the opportunity to conduct a consultancy or business start-up project.
