Bachelor of Arts - BA - Hons in International Business & Languages - Level 8 Technological University Dublin Aungier Street Campus

This programme has three key characteristics: the acquisition of business expertise, the acquisition of professional competence in one or more languages, and the third year spent abroad in the country of the student’s major language.

With increasing globalisation and dependency on international trade, fluency in other languages is vital to the success of businesses dealing with countries abroad. Students who successfully complete the programme will be equipped to play a key role in companies and organisations seeking out new markets and/or expanding in them.

The programme is shared equally between the School of Languages and the School of Marketing at TU Dublin. You’ll study the full range of business modules required to gain an in-depth understanding of international business. You’ll also study the language(s) of your choice and acquire a level of competency in the one or more languages that you need to work in multilingual and multicultural environments.

You’ll normally have obtained a minimum grade of H4 in the Leaving Certificate or equivalent in one or more of the languages offered on the programme, currently Chinese, French, German, Irish, Italian and Spanish.

You can also study a new language from beginner’s level and may specialise in it if you do well enough.

Study Abroad Opportunities

Students must spend Year 3 in the country of their major language. This will normally be in a partner university but may be on a work placement.
