International Business Management and Modern Languages - BA (Hons)

University of Bristol

We live and work in a world of rapid technological and societal change on a global scale. To be effective in a multinational business environment, we need to understand the cultural, linguistic, economic, political and social contexts in which organisations operate, both within and across national borders.Our exciting four-year BA International Business Management and Modern Languages degree combines management study with linguistic and cultural immersion and socio-political literacy, enabling you to work across borders with strong intercultural understanding and communication skills. The language side of your degree will allow you direct access to the cultural production, political debates and economic data from the culture(s) in which your chosen language is spoken, while the knowledge, insight and understanding that you will gain across the two sides of the course will equip you for careers across all sectors of the global jobs market.Alongside business and management, you will study one of French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish and its related culture/s to degree level. All languages are available either from beginners' level or post-A level (or the equivalent), apart from Portuguese, which is offered from beginners' level only. You select your language after you accept an offer.Teaching for the first two years of the course is at our vibrant Clifton Campus. It's here where you'll build a strong understanding of both subjects.For the final year of your degree, your location of study will depend on the specific units you choose to study, with units relating to Business being taught at the Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus. Here, enhanced links with businesses will provide you with real-world knowledge, networks and skills to succeed once you graduate.The BA International Business Management and Modern Languages differs from our single honours BSc degrees in International Business Management (N120, N121 and N122) in its incorporation of advanced linguistic and cultural study, and in the fact that it is split equally between the Business School and the School of Modern Languages.
