BA Modern Language and Business & Management (Spanish)
About this course
A modern language combined with business and management is a programme built for a globalised economy in which commercial relationships cross linguistic and cultural boundaries and organisations need people who can operate effectively in both. Spanish is the native language of over 500 million people and the language of business and governance across Latin America as well as Spain, making it one of the most commercially significant languages in the world. Adding business and management education to advanced language skills creates a graduate who is genuinely prepared for international professional life. At Manchester, one of the UK's leading research universities with a distinguished tradition in modern languages, this four-year programme develops your Spanish to an advanced level while grounding you in the disciplines of management. You will study Spanish language, literature and cultural studies alongside business modules in strategy, marketing, finance, organisational behaviour and international management. The programme includes a sandwich year and work placement opportunities, giving you extended professional experience in a business or institutional context where Spanish is used. This direct exposure to commercial practice in a Spanish-speaking environment or an international organisation strengthens your employability significantly. The typical entry tariff is 136 UCAS points. Graduates work in international business, consultancy, marketing, trade and logistics, European and international institutions, financial services, journalism, cultural organisations and the many companies with Spanish-speaking markets or operations. Latin America's growing economic significance means that graduates with strong Spanish and business knowledge are particularly well placed for careers connecting the UK with markets across the Americas. Many graduates also continue to postgraduate study in international business, management, Spanish or area studies.
