About this course

International business with Spanish prepares you for the realities of working across national and cultural boundaries by combining a thorough business education with genuine linguistic and cultural competence in Spanish. Spanish is one of the world's most widely spoken languages, carrying significant importance in international trade, diplomacy, and cultural exchange across Europe, Latin America, and the United States. This four-year full-time degree at Sheffield Hallam University includes a foundation year, giving students who need additional preparation the opportunity to build their foundations before entering the main programme.

You will develop business knowledge and skills across the core functions of organisations, including strategy, marketing, finance, and operations, while studying Spanish language alongside Spanish business practices, cultures, societies, histories, and politics. The combination develops both the analytical capabilities that business careers demand and the linguistic and intercultural confidence that effective international work requires. Sheffield Hallam's emphasis on applied, career-focused learning means the programme is designed to be directly useful in professional contexts.

A typical entry tariff of 120 UCAS points reflects a broadly accessible admissions standard. Graduates from international business with Spanish programmes are well positioned for careers in international trade and commerce, export management, global marketing, financial services with a Spanish-speaking market focus, diplomacy and international development, translation and interpreting in business contexts, and management roles in multinational organisations operating in Spanish-speaking countries. Many continue to postgraduate study in international business, management, or Hispanic studies.
