Content

Combine the study of business with French 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 studied French beyond National 5 (SQA) or GCSE level, you will typically take French 1B. This course will help you develop your written and spoken linguistic skills.

Year 2:
You will broaden your knowledge of essential business subjects and the international environment in which business operates.

You will further develop your language skills in French, including in writing, translation and grammar. You will gain confidence talking in French on a variety of topics relating to contemporary France and the Francophone world.

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

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