Develop your language skills and gain the expertise to succeed in a fast-moving global economy with our BSc in Business and Management with a Modern Language degree.<br/><br/>This flexible course, taught by experts from Henley Business School and the Department of Languages and Cultures, provides you with a thorough understanding of the theory and practice of business management in an international context. As you develop your business understanding, you will explore a foreign language. You can start as a beginner in whatever language you choose – the appropriate level of learning and support will be provided. If you’re at an intermediate level, your learning will be tailored to your level of understanding.<br/><br/>You’ll study the core disciplines that underpin business, including economics, psychology, and sociology. Youll explore different areas of international business and learn through a combination of lectures, seminars, practical workshops, and self-guided study. This will provide the opportunity to discuss subject materials in depth with your lecturers and fellow students.<br/><br/>In each year of study, you will take one 20-credit module in your chosen language and one 20-credit culture module. In your second and final years, you can tailor your studies to suit your interests and deepen your understanding of your chosen language. 98% of the Department of Languages and Cultures students said our teaching staff were good or very good at explaining things (National Student Survey, 2023).<br/><br/>The Henley Business School is ranked 16th for Business and Management in the Guardian University Guide, 2024, and has triple-accredited status from the UK, European and US accrediting bodies (AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB).<br/><br/>After the first year of your BSc International Business and Management degree, you can transfer to any of our other specialist pathways.<br/><br/>For more information, please visit the programme page: https://www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/study/subject-area/business-and-management-accounting-and-finance-ug/bsc-international-business-and-management-with-modern-language
