The Bachelor of Business (Honours) in International Business with Language is an innovative programme geared at preparing students for working in roles that require broad understanding of business in an international environment. Students will have the opportunity to undertake a placement/study abroad while studying a language while also developing skills in marketing, sales, business development and management. Students will continue to learn either French, Spanish or German throughout the degree programme.
This programme is geared at meeting the skills shortage that has been identified for roles in sales, business development and marketing in international environments. Students will develop a broad understanding of business issues with an international perspective while also studying a language of their choice. Topics such as culture, negotiation, trade, law and much more underpin the development.
As part of the programme, students will undertake an international trip in Year 4 where they will experience the politics, culture and business approaches of another country. In Year 3, students will undertake a semester abroad in a country where the language they are learning is spoken widely. The programme has been designed to ensure that students have a wide range of opportunities upon completion. The semester abroad gives the student the opportunity to develop language skills and to develop a broader understanding of international cultures. While on semester abroad some students will seek placement which CIT will recognise while others will seek to study for the semester. Where a student pursues a placement they do so under their own responsibility but with CV, interview and career guidance from CIT.
