Bachelor's in International Business with Language

Munster Technological University: Munster Technological University (MTU) is an innovative and forward-thinking institution located in Cork, Ireland. It is the result of a merger between Cork Institute of Technology and Institute of Technology Tralee. MTU offers a diverse range of programs in engineering, science, business, art and design, and more. The university focuses on practical learning, industry collaborations, and research that addresses real-world challenges. With a student-centered approach, MTU provides students with a supportive environment, state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities for professional development. It aims to equip graduates with the skills and knowledge required to succeed in their chosen careers and contribute to societal and economic development.

This programme is geared at meeting the skills shortage that has been identified for roles in businesses operating in various international environments. This may relate to business development, project management, supply chain management and other areas. Students will develop a broad understanding of business issues with an international perspective, while also studying a language of their choice. Topics such as culture, management, negotiation, trade, law, and much more underpin the programme. In year 3, students will undertake a mandatory semester abroad in a country where the language they are learning is spoken widely. The programme has been designed to ensure that students have a wide range of opportunities upon completion. The semester abroad gives the student the opportunity to develop language skills and to develop a broader understanding of international cultures. While on semester abroad, some students will seek placement, which MTU will recognise, while others will seek to study for the semester. Where a student pursues a placement they do so under their own responsibility but with CV, interview and career guidance from MTU. This programme has been revised recently to ensure that students have more opportunity to specialise through a broader range of modules on offer and through enhanced elective choices.
