International Business with Language

Our international business with language degree includes the study of a language - French, Italian, Mandarin or Spanish - to develop business managers able to operate in different cultural settings.

The course addresses international business in theory and practice. You will explore business management and strategy, trade and markets, internationalisation, and emerging economies. You also learn about the socio-economic implications of international business, looking at ethics, corporate social responsibility, and emerging markets.

This degree in international business with a language provides a thorough understanding of the issues faced in the international business world. To build your experience, you can spend your second year on the new Turing Scheme student exchange programme and/or take an optional placement year.

Popular international business with language careers include banking, finance, logistics, and IT. Our graduates have found roles with companies such as PwC, JP Morgan, HP, and Ericsson.

This programme is accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).
