Business Economics with a European Language (German)

Overview

The Business Economics with a European Language (German) programme from Cardiff University aims to inform you of the main features of the UK industrial economy and the key developments in business. 

You will examine government and international business policy to identify their ramifications for the development of markets and firms. The course will introduce you to subject areas outside the economics discipline by offering you the opportunity to follow modules in business finance, marketing and other aspects of management.

In your third year you will attend a University in Germany and will be taught and examined in German.

Through the study of business economics and German, the programme encourages a range of transferable discipline-specific and core skills that will be of value to you in future education and in your subsequent careers. 

Distinctive features

The distinctive features of the Economics Programme include:

• the opportunity to specialise in economic analysis through all three years of study and therefore to build up considerable knowledge and skills in the discipline;
• the intellectual challenge derived from exposure to recent developments in economic theory;
• the development of substantial quantitative and empirical research skills;
• the chance to proceed to postgraduate study in economics at the UK’s premier Universities;
• the possibility of moving into careers in the government economic service and major economic consultancies;

• study abroad year in a German-speaking country.

Career prospects

Our business degrees give students a broad range of skills which are valued by a range of employers in the private and public sectors. In 2015/16, 92% of the School’s graduates who were available for work reported they were in employment and/or further study within six months of graduating.

In addition to the central University Careers Service, our students benefit from a dedicated on-site Careers and Placements service to help them find internships, job opportunities and to access business-industry specific advice, training and guidance.
