Subject

Business and management

**Introduction**
BSc International Business Management (France) is a double degree programme that will fully immerse you in two different cultures, learning environments, business areas and languages. The first two years of your degree, spent at Lancaster, will give you a comprehensive introduction to all areas of modern business, drawing on expertise from across the Management School. At the same time, where applicable, you will study French in preparation for studying overseas.

You will then spend years three and four of your programme taking Business and Management modules at our partner, the prestigious NEOMA Business School in Reims, France, where you will be taught in French.

**Programme overview**
You will graduate with two full degrees; one from Lancaster University and one from NEOMA Business School.

Earning two degrees gives you a considerable advantage in starting your career; your experience will be broader, you will be more adaptable and flexible, your language skills will be near fluent, and your experience of work, through the programme’s integrated paid work placements, means that you will have a better idea of the direction you want to take.

Through being taught by academic experts in business analytics, finance, accounting, management, organisation and work theory, data analysis, economics and marketing, your first two years of study will expose you to the full spectrum of functions found in any business or organisation. This holistic, interdisciplinary approach equips you for success in your two work placements too, where you will have a strong understanding of all parts of the business and apply your learning in the real world.

**Key facts**
You will graduate with two full degrees; one from Lancaster University and one from NEOMA Business School, France.

You will undertake two work placements as part of the programme, one in the UK and one in France, helping you to put your learning into practice and develop skills crucial to today's global business environment.

**Programme outcomes**
Our graduates benefit from their strong understanding of all areas of business, their academic and applied experience, and an international perspective, giving them an advantage in the global jobs market. Recent graduates have gone on to work in a wide range of functions in brands including Aston Martin, Deloitte and Neilson.

As only a small number of students take courses in this subject area, there isn't much information on what graduates do when they finish, so bear that in mind when you review any stats. Management, finance and business roles are common, but it's a good idea to ask tutors what previous graduates taking specific courses went on to do when you're at an open day.
