BA French with Business Management
About this course
French with business management is a combination that reflects the practical reality that professional life in France, and across the Francophone world, requires both linguistic competence and an understanding of the business and organisational contexts in which that competence will be deployed. French is one of the world's major languages, spoken across Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, the Caribbean, and parts of Asia and the Pacific, and it is the working language of many international institutions. Paired with business management, the combination prepares you not only to communicate in French but to understand the commercial, strategic, and organisational dimensions of professional work in Francophone environments. At Queen Mary University of London, this four-year programme treats French as the major element and business management as the minor, allowing you to develop genuinely deep French language skills alongside a thorough grounding in management principles. No prior knowledge of French is required at entry, which makes the programme accessible to students who are motivated to acquire the language from scratch. This is a demanding route that requires commitment, but Queen Mary provides structured language teaching designed to take students from beginner to a high level of proficiency over the course of the programme. The business management strand covers core areas of the discipline including strategy, organisational behaviour, marketing, finance, and operations, providing a broad understanding of how organisations work and how they can be managed effectively. A typical entry tariff of 152 points reflects Queen Mary's position as a strong research university within the University of London federation, with a large and diverse student body in east London. Graduates work in international business, finance, marketing, management, the civil service, diplomacy, NGOs, and a wide range of organisations where both linguistic and business competence in a Francophone context is professionally valuable. Postgraduate study in French, business, or international management is a natural further step.
