In Year 1 you take compulsory modules in language and background studies in French or German, so that you are fully prepared for your two years in France or Germany. You also study business administration, accounting, economics, information technology and law. The middle two years of the course in France or Germany are semester based. You will be at college during October to February and on work placements during March to July. The placements are designed both to improve your language skills and to increase your understanding of the business and cultural environment.
Placements are usually in different companies and are often in two different locations.
The second placement does not necessarily have to be in France or Germany. In your final year you take compulsory modules in business resource management, international management and international trade plus further optional modules and a dissertation. Teaching, Learning and Assessment Various teaching and learning approaches are used across the programme, with lectures and seminars used at all three institutions. In seminars you are encouraged to develop your presentation and communication skills. Case studies are also an established part of the teaching and learning process in the partner institutions.
