French Studies with Business
French Studies with Business is a programme that combines advanced French language and cultural study with a grounding in the principles and practices of business and management, creating a graduate profile that is particularly well suited to international commercial roles where both linguistic competence and business acumen are valued. French remains one of the world's most important languages for trade, diplomacy and culture, spoken across Europe, Africa, the Caribbean and beyond, and combining it with business training opens a distinctive range of career opportunities.
Studying at the University of London Institute in Paris places you at the heart of one of the world's leading business and cultural capitals. Your campus is located overlooking the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides, and the city's extraordinary concentration of international organisations, multinational corporations, creative industries, museums and cultural institutions forms an integral part of your educational environment. You will develop advanced French language proficiency alongside knowledge of French culture, society and business life, combining this with study of business disciplines that give you the commercial awareness and management understanding that employers seek.
The programme runs full time over three years.
You will develop intercultural competence, language fluency, business analysis skills, professional communication and the self-confidence that comes from living and studying in a major international city. These are capabilities that employers consistently identify as differentiating factors among graduate candidates.
Graduates from French studies with business programmes pursue careers in international business, marketing and communications, management roles in French-speaking organisations, trade, finance, diplomacy, international development and cultural organisations with European or francophone connections. Postgraduate study in business, international management, translation or French studies is also a well-established route.
