Combine the study of business with German 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).

If you have not studied German before, you will take German 1A, an intensive language course. If your entry qualification for German is a Scottish Higher, A level, or equivalent, you will take German 1B.

Year 2:
You will broaden your knowledge of essential business subjects through the compulsory study of statistical analysis and data interpretation, and international business.

You will further develop your writing, translation and grammar skills in German and continue to have oral language practicals. You will also study German-language literature and culture.

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

You will complete and pass a full year of assessed subjects, the majority of which will be business courses taught and assessed in German. 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.
