BSc Business Management with Welsh
About this course
Business management is concerned with how organisations are led, structured, and sustained over time. Studying it at degree level gives you a grounding in the principles that shape commercial decisions, from strategy and finance to human resources and marketing, and develops the analytical habits needed to understand why some organisations succeed and others struggle. At Cardiff University, this programme pairs that commercial education with the Welsh language, creating something distinctive in the landscape of UK business degrees. This three-year full-time programme integrates core business management study with Welsh language development. You will explore how businesses operate across functions, how managers make decisions under uncertainty, and how organisations adapt to changing markets and social expectations. Alongside this, the Welsh strand gives you the opportunity to develop or extend your proficiency in the language, which is both a working language in Welsh public life and a significant cultural and historical presence in the region. With a typical tariff of 152 points, the programme attracts well-prepared students with a serious interest in combining professional knowledge with linguistic and cultural engagement. Cardiff's position as the Welsh capital means the city itself is a living environment for Welsh-medium professional life. Public sector organisations, media companies, and businesses operating in Wales regularly require Welsh-speaking graduates, and the combination you develop on this programme is not easily replicated elsewhere. You will graduate with both the commercial understanding that employers across sectors value and a genuine bilingual capability that is relatively uncommon among business graduates. Graduates move into careers in business, management, public administration, the civil service, banking, media, retail, and the third sector. Those who develop strong Welsh-language skills are particularly well placed for roles in Welsh government, public bodies, and organisations with a mandate to operate bilingually. Further study at postgraduate level in business, management, or public administration is also a well-established next step for graduates who want to specialise or move into more senior roles.
