Introduction
BA (Hons) Business with English is designed for students whose first language is not English. The programme allows students the opportunity to explore a range of business topics designed to enable them to understand and develop the skills needed to work for a business operating in a global context.
The programme is made up of three main streams of academic thought: Management, Marketing, and Business English. During the programme, students can develop knowledge, understanding, and capability in key business functions.
Students also study modules in English language designed to develop skills not only in communication but also in negotiation. The programme aims to prepare students for a career in international business and to increase their geographical mobility.
How You Study
The course aims to provide a thorough understanding of the various aspects of international business and management. More specifically, the programme can help students to demonstrate the linguistic ability necessary for functioning within an international context.
Students will have the opportunity to develop a theoretical and conceptual understanding of business management, enhancing their critical and intellectual capabilities and their awareness of changing environments.
The course can offer a broad curriculum relevant to many international careers, promoting and encouraging continued personal and professional development via lifelong learning.
