Prospective Students

Business Management with a European Language (BSc)

As the European Union develops, language skills are becoming increasingly attractive to both students and employers. The degree in Business Management with a European Language combines the main elements of a Business Management degree with French, German or Spanish. The first year provides the core building blocks of management and business subjects, together with one module in the relevant language.

Year two develops from this base, giving equal weighting to the business and language subjects. Students continue to focus on the core Business Management modules, whilst the language component concentrates on expression, translation and business language, providing the ideal preparation for the third year which is spent abroad. Here, students will be taught level two Business Management in their chosen language.

In the third year, you will take modules equivalent to the second year of the specialist degree, but your studies will be carried out in a French, Spanish, German or Austrian university.

The fourth year, when students return to Cardiff, extends the business and management content of the degree with three core and two option modules, together with one module to maintain the language input. The range of options available spread across the whole of business, including modules in Accounting, Marketing, Aspects of Human Resource Management, and courses with an international content such as Comparative Industrial Relations and Japanese Management Systems.
