BSc International Business Management with Study Abroad in a Modern Language at University of Bristol

This four-year degree offers a rigorous grounding in international business management while enabling you to develop high-level competence in a modern language and to study abroad in that language during your third year. International business increasingly requires the ability to respond to linguistic, cultural and institutional diversity, and this degree is designed to equip you with both the analytical capabilities and the intercultural fluency needed to work effectively across borders. You will develop strong foundations in international business strategy, organisational behaviour and evidence-based management; learning to interpret economic and market shifts; analyse how multinational firms operate and evaluate the policy; and institutional environments that shape global business activity.
