For all new students from 2019/20 the Business Studies and a Language Programme structure is outlined below.
The Business and a Language degree is designed to prepare students for a career in International Business. Educational experts emphasise the special challenges associated with the study of two disparate disciplines, employing different teaching approaches and requiring different learning styles on the part of the student, but they also stress that mastery of these challenges builds skills that are particularly sought after by employers.

The vast majority of modules and examinations, taken during your year abroad, will be through the medium of your chosen language. During your year abroad, you may undertake relevant work experience of six to eight weeks in an approved organisation or institution, or an alternative agreed with the exchange coordinator, such as reflection assignments relating to your year abroad.

In your Senior Sophister year, you will study your chosen area of business expertise and your chosen language in depth, taking advanced modules in the subjects and undertaking a significant research project (Capstone) guided by one of our faculty or industry experts.
