Modern Languages and Business

At Leeds, you can study business with one of 10 languages.

During this four-year course you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of business, management, and organisational issues while developing fluency in your chosen language.

Whether you’re starting your language from a beginners’ level, or with prior knowledge, intensive language modules will prepare you for your year abroad, where you’ll further enhance your linguistic skills and deepen your understanding of the markets and business culture of your host country.

You’ll combine technical expertise with an understanding of local business environments and develop your awareness of the challenges faced by organisations operating across the globe.

You’ll be able to choose to take your Final Year Project in either business or your chosen language.

The international outlook and knowledge you develop alongside advanced language skills will allow you to consider career options in a range of fields when you graduate.
