Combine the study of business with Italian to prepare for the social, political, environmental and cultural challenges facing contemporary businesses, governments and not-for-profit organisations.

Year 1:
Your studies will provide an introduction to accounting, business and its global environment. You will have the opportunity to undertake an option course from within the Business School or other schools within the University (subject to availability and timetabling constraints).

You will study the foundations of the Italian language, both written and spoken. You will also take classes in Italian history, literature and arts.

Year 2:
You will broaden your knowledge of essential business subjects and the international environment in which business operates. You will further develop your Italian vocabulary, syntax and grammar and your awareness of different registers and styles. You will also learn more about Italian culture.

Year 3:
As you progress to honours level, you will spend Year 3 abroad at a partner university or business school in Italy.

You will complete and pass a full year of assessed subjects, the majority of which will be business courses taught and assessed in Italian. You will also take an equivalent compulsory course in strategic management at the partner university.

Year 4:
Your Management Honours Dissertation is central to Year 4. You will choose at least three more specialist honours courses in key areas of international business or one or two honours courses in other subject areas.
