Business Management

Business management with a modern language is a degree that takes seriously the reality that effective international business requires more than commercial knowledge: it requires the ability to communicate, negotiate, and build relationships across linguistic and cultural boundaries. Business management gives you the strategic, operational, and analytical toolkit that organisations need in order to function and compete. A modern language adds the communicative range and cultural sensitivity that transform a competent manager into an effective international one.

At Manchester Metropolitan, this practical programme will help you find your calling in international business, covering modules from consultancy to enterprise. You will study the core disciplines of business management, including strategy, marketing, operations, finance, and organisational behaviour, alongside the development of language skills to a level that equips you for real professional use. The programme emphasises practical application, ensuring that your learning is grounded in the kind of decision-making and problem-solving that business careers actually require.

The degree runs over three years full-time, with a typical entry tariff of 120 points.

Graduates of business management with a modern language are well placed for careers in international trade, marketing, consultancy, export management, global supply chain, and business development in organisations with international operations. The language skills add particular value in roles requiring engagement with specific linguistic markets, and the combination of commercial training and language ability is consistently sought after by multinational employers. Many graduates pursue postgraduate study in business, management, or their chosen language area, building on the professional breadth the undergraduate degree has established.
