International Business with Spanish

International Business with Spanish addresses the practical reality that international trade and investment require both commercial expertise and genuine linguistic and cultural competence. Spanish is the second most widely spoken native language in the world and the official language of twenty countries, spanning Latin America, Spain, and Equatorial Guinea, making it one of the most commercially significant languages a business student can acquire. This degree equips you with both the management and financial skills to operate in international markets and the language ability to do so across the Spanish-speaking world.

At the University of Dundee, this four-year full-time programme includes a year abroad, giving you direct experience of studying or working in a Spanish-speaking country or international context. You will develop advanced Spanish alongside the core disciplines of international business, including strategy, marketing, finance, trade economics, and cross-cultural management. The international business component examines how companies enter and operate in foreign markets, how exchange rates and regulation shape commercial decisions, and how to lead across cultural and linguistic boundaries.

The year abroad brings these academic dimensions to life in real professional or academic settings.

Graduates from International Business with Spanish are attractive to a wide range of employers. Multinational companies operating in Spain and Latin America, import-export businesses, international banking and finance, consultancies with Hispanophone clients, and public sector organisations with international dimensions all recruit from this field. Roles in marketing, supply chain management, business development, and general management with an international focus are common starting points.

The diplomatic service, international NGOs, and European institutions are further options. Postgraduate study in international management, Latin American studies, or an MBA with an international focus is a natural next step.
