Business and Management with French

Description

These degree programmes combine a study of business and management and related disciplines with a thorough grounding in the language chosen. The language component of the degree constitutes approximately 1/3 of the programme.

At no point in recent history has there been such an exciting time to study the dynamics of business and its role in the global environment. Much of the early part of the Business and Management programme is focused on understanding the various external driving forces for change and the internal responses necessary for business to survive and prosper. The programme provides a blend of theoretical and practical study, never losing sight of employers requirements and students career aspirations. The Business and Management programme aims to equip graduates with analytical and decision-making skills relevant to career development in the wider business context. These degree programmes are designed to appeal to those who wish to work in business and management in an international environment.

French is studied at the level appropriate for the students existing knowledge.

Course Content

Teaching is carried out through a combination of formal lectures supported by tutorials and seminars. A key feature of the Buckingham teaching method is the use of small tutorial groups which provide the most effective means of ensuring that the students benefit from the academic expertise at their disposal. It is also the philosophy of the Business School to be available to students outside the scheduled tutorial times and to encourage good working relationships between staff and students.

At the beginning of each term, we provide our students with module outlines and reading lists for each module. We also provide a tutorial question pack, which the students work through week by week. Each week corresponds with the subject given in the lectures and at each tutorial the students have the opportunity to discuss their answers to the tutorial questions. Solutions to the numerical tutorial questions are handed out each week so, by the end of the term, the students have a very useful pack of material to help with their revision. Lecturers are available throughout the term to help students with their revision for the examinations. An increasing proportion of course material is available on the Universitys own Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).
