International Marketing and Business with Languages BA (Hons)

The International Marketing and Business BA at DMU links international marketing and business theories with the realities of operating as a marketer in the commercial world and keeping pace with the continuous challenges of operating in a global economy.

At a time when the graduate employment market is very competitive, having a recognised competence in a foreign language can set you apart from most other graduates and thus enhance your career prospects. This course combines International Marketing and Business with the study, from beginners’ or post-GCSE or A-level, of a foreign language.

Competence in another language has become an essential skill for success in the global job market. By combining your study of Human Resource Management with a language, you will develop not only competence in the language itself, but will also enhance your employability; a language distinguishes you from other graduates.

Did you know that French is an official language in 32 countries, with a projected growth to 750 million people worldwide by 2050; Mandarin Chinese is currently the language with the greatest number of speakers; and Spanish has over 470 million speakers worldwide including in Central and South American countries and the USA? You can start your study of languages at DMU (French, Mandarin or Spanish) at beginner, GCSE (intermediate) or Advanced level.
