Bachelor in Business and Foreign Languages

The Bachelor in Business and Foreign Languages at Sorbonne University, Abu Dhabi, previously Paris Sorbonne University, Abu Dhabi, is offered in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and combines business education with the study of foreign languages and intercultural communication. This interdisciplinary field prepares students to operate in international business environments by pairing core business subjects such as management, marketing, and finance with language training and cross-cultural competence. Coursework typically includes business fundamentals, international trade concepts, applied language study, and coursework addressing communication across different cultural and linguistic contexts. Graduates of programs combining business and foreign languages pursue careers in international business development, trade and export roles, translation-adjacent business functions, and positions within multinational companies that require both commercial understanding and multilingual communication skills. The combination is particularly useful for roles in international sales, diplomatic and government relations, and organizations operating across multiple language markets. Because the discipline builds both professional business skills and language proficiency, graduates are often well positioned for roles requiring negotiation and relationship building across borders. As a bachelor's degree, the program builds foundational business knowledge alongside language study throughout the course of study, with students typically deepening both skill sets as they progress. Instruction is conducted in English, consistent with the standard practice across universities in the United Arab Emirates, even as the program includes dedicated foreign language coursework. The program is accredited by the UAE Commission for Academic Accreditation, confirming it meets the country's recognized quality standards for higher education. Students entering this field typically combine interest in business with an aptitude for language learning and cross-cultural communication.
