BA International Management and Business Administration with German is an undergraduate degree programme designed for students with or without prior academic experience of the subject. 

BA International Management and Business Administration with German examines the key themes and emerging challenges facing business in a global context. You will gain a broad knowledge of the functional areas of business and examine the internal and external factors that impact on business performance and drive strategic decision making in any organisation.

Business modules span areas including marketing, finance, organisational behaviour and human resource management. You will also develop a high level of understanding of the German language - both spoken and written - and gain an awareness of the country's culture and practices, further reinforcing the international nature of this programme.

Multilingual graduates are highly sought after by organisations operating internationally due to an increasingly globalised business world. Graduates will find themselves more career mobile and better prepared to work in a multinational environment, and possess language and communication skills that will differentiate them from many other professionals.

A one-year paid work placement or study year abroad in year 3 provides you with an outstanding opportunity to both apply and further develop your business related knowledge and skills, as well as your language capabilities.
