N2R4: BA (Hons) Management Studies with Spanish
Overview
BA (Hons) Management Studies with Spanish is offered by the Business School in collaboration with the School of Modern Languages, and is weighted two-thirds in business and one-third in Spanish. The degree is based on the same set of core modules as BA Management Studies, with the core accounting modules removed and four appropriate language modules added per year of study. Two of these modules are in written and spoken Spanish, whilst the others are typically in related subjects, such as Spanish media, literature, politics or culture.
