About program
Why study this course?
This four-year programme combines modules from our successful BSc in Business Management with the study of French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese or Mandarin Chinese. You don’t need to have any prior knowledge in business studies but you will normally need an A2 level in your foreign language, although an AS of GCSE may sometimes be considered.
It is a broad-based degree that offers a combination of academic theory and practical teaching on topics of interest and relevance to employers in a wide range of business areas.
The BSc International Business course will appeal to students who are considering a future career in international management. Today’s business is increasingly international in scope and there are obvious advantages in combining knowledge of modern business with the experience of another culture.
Students on our BSc International Business with Language degree enjoy above average contact hours with academic staff. As well as time with your lecturers and personal tutor, academic and professional services staff (like our dedicated Careers Network team) will be available to offer individual and group support throughout your time here at Birmingham.
Your programme of study
The four-year BSc International Business with Language programme combines modules from our successful BSc in Business Management with study of French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese or Chinese. You don’t need to have prior knowledge in business studies, but you will need an A level in the relevant language if you choose French, German, Italian or Spanish as they are offered at Advanced level only. If you choose Japanese or Chinese then GCSE in a modern foreign language will suffice as they are offered at Beginners level only.
In addition to the study of your language, your first year will lay a foundation for the study of business. It introduces the key areas of management, marketing, economics, finance, law, and analytical techniques and IT for business. The year complements, but does not duplicate, the content of the Business Studies A level.
In your second year you begin to have some choice within the themed structure of the programme. The modules offered will change from time to time, as they are developed to reflect the ever-changing world of business. This ensures a breadth to your business and language education, whilst allowing a degree of specialisation in those areas in which you are particularly interested.
The third year is your year abroad and is essential for developing fluency in your language and is spent at a partner university. You study business in your chosen language and undertake project work for your degree. Exchanges in the EU are operated as part of the Erasmus programme and you will be eligible for a small EU grant. It may also be possible to undertake a work-based placement, and again if it is in the EU you will be eligible for an EU grant. Please note that your year abroad is conditional upon a good performance in the first and second year exams. Your year abroad is conditional upon you achieving the requisite grades and number of credits in your first and second year.
