BA (Hons) International Business with Spanish

On the three-year route, you'll need to spend a minimum of one semester in the second year at a partner university in Europe, North America, Latin America, Australia, Africa, Middle East or Asia. Ideally, you will spend the whole year abroad to really immerse yourself into a different culture. UK nationals who spend the whole year abroad pay a reduced tuition fee.

On the four-year route, you will have the opportunity to spend one or two years studying and working abroad. Everyone on this route will study abroad in the third year (with no tuition fees to pay). However, as a bonus you can also choose to spend the second year abroad (again with a reduced tuition fee for UK nationals). There’ll be opportunities for work placements too. We have partnerships with over 100 universities and business schools around the world, so there’s lots of choice.

This course reflects the growing need for managers of tomorrow to have the business and leadership skills, language competency and cultural awareness for success in today’s global business environment.

We’re one of 11 UK business schools with an EFMD Accredited course and one of only 96 schools worldwide (June 2021). The European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) is an internationally recognised badge of programme quality, with its strong focus on internationalisation, ethics and sustainability.

This EPAS-accredited international business degree gives you exceptional employability and 92% of our graduates are in work or further study within six months of graduating. They go into a wide range of roles in both internationally oriented UK businesses and in organisations all over the world.

Some of our graduates are offered jobs by the companies they took placements with, while others join graduate training schemes with globally focused companies. Some work as international experts within smaller businesses, and others secure professional roles in multi-national companies. Each year a number of our students also stay on to study at postgraduate level.

With a business degree, language skills and international exposure, you’ll be an attractive prospect for employers worldwide, as well as for UK-based multinationals. Many of our graduates work across Europe, North America, Asia and Africa, in the financial, automotive, publishing and retail sectors. They work in fields including HR, marketing, sales, procurement and travel management. Our graduates earn an average salary of £23,000 six months after finishing the course.
