BA French and International Business
About this course
French and International Business is a degree that prepares you for professional life in the international economy, pairing the linguistic and cultural depth of a French degree with the analytical and strategic frameworks of international business education. France is one of the world's major economies, a founding member of the European Union, and a country with a vast network of commercial relationships across Europe, Africa, North America, and beyond. The ability to conduct business in French, to engage with French and Francophone business cultures, and to understand the economic and regulatory contexts in which international commerce takes place is a genuine and durable professional asset. At the University of Westminster, this three-year full-time BA develops both strands in a programme designed to give you the skills, confidence, and global outlook that international employers need. You will develop French language skills through intensive teaching in reading, writing, listening and speaking, alongside engagement with French and Francophone culture, history, film, and contemporary society. The business dimension covers international marketing, global supply chains, trade law, cross-cultural management, and strategic decision-making in international contexts. A sandwich year, year abroad, and work placement are all built into the programme, giving you extended professional experience and direct linguistic and cultural immersion in a French-speaking environment. Westminster's London location places you close to a dense network of international businesses and organisations. Graduates move into careers in international trade and commerce, diplomacy, consultancy, European institutions, financial services, marketing, management, and any professional context involving France or the wider Francophone world. Many also pursue postgraduate study in international business, French, or European studies.
