Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: RN50

Here's what University of Sheffield says about its Business Management and Modern Languages & Cultures course.

Combining business management with modern languages and cultures gives your degree a truly global focus. You'll study key areas of business management, such as corporate social responsibility, marketing, operations and supply chain management, alongside one or two of these languages: Catalan, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.

Combine the study of foreign languages and the cultures of Europe with business management, and gain access to global career opportunities across the globe.

Choosing between one or two languages, you will become proficient in the language as well as the culture, history and politics of the countries that interest you - applying this to the study of business management.

Whether you choose international marketing or organisational psychology, decision sciences or entrepreneurship, you’ll be taught by leaders in their fields using real-world examples - absorbing ideas invaluable to the modern workplace. Complementing this with a choice of optional modules from both departments including literature, film, international business and digital marketing, you’ll graduate with the skills to deal with international markets and understand the social and cultural aspects of doing business on a global scale.

Why study this course?

  • Combine the study of Business Management with one or two languages - choose from 10 languages (German, French, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Czech, Catalan, Italian, and Luxembourgish) to take your business management skills international.

  • Spend a year abroad - the year abroad in your third year enables you to immerse yourself in the language, culture and society of the language or languages you study.

  • Dedicated employability team - through the management school, you’ll be supported to find the work experience that’s right for you, work with industry to develop in-demand skills, and be offered career planning and CV writing support.
