The BA degree in Modern Languages with Business Studies is a relatively new course with a practical and vocational bias.
Students study two languages to degree level, and gain proficiency in business administration.
On the languages side, courses aim generally to develop skills in the written and spoken language, and particularly to impart a command of the language of economics and commerce. On the business studies side, there is a particular stress on economics and accounting. Part I lasts for one year. In each language, you join other language students to follow language modules designed to develop a wide range of written, spoken and comprehension skills on the basis of a series of topics, and a content module intended to further your knowledge of the culture and society of the countries where your languages of study are spoken. If you are studying one of your languages as a beginner, much of your study in the new language is devoted to mastering the basics of that language.
