Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Modern Languages with Business Management (R9N1)

The University of Birmingham’s fusion of language and culture places employability at its heart, preparing students to live and work as an engaged citizen of the world. International businesses need employees who not only speak another language but also understand the history, politics and culture of the region. For this course, students can study French, German, Italian or Spanish at advanced level if they have studied the language at A Level. Alongside this, students may choose to study a second language at advanced or beginner level. Languages from beginner level include the ones mentioned above, alongside Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese. It is possible to study two beginners languages without taking an advanced language as long as one of the beginner languages is French / Spanish. The third year abroad also offers the opportunity to undertake work placement/s in the country where the chosen language/s are spoken.

One third of the degree course studies will be based in the country’s first dedicated business school. The University of Birmingham has strong links with local, national and global businesses such as Deloitte, KPMG, PwC and Ernst & Young. As a result, this undergraduate degree course retains a strong practical focus as well as exploring theoretical aspects.
