Learn how to excel in an international business environment. Fulfil the demand for business leaders with both advanced language and management skills.
You will benefit from the expertise of two leading departments, the School of Management and the Department of Politics, Languages and International Studies.
You’ll gain specialised knowledge of relevant countries’ business environments and contemporary politics, society and culture. From day one you’ll be taught in German.
You’ll cover core management subjects while developing your German, including technical business vocabulary, business economics and data analysis. You will also study contemporary culture, politics and society.
As well as optional units, you’ll cover core subjects like marketing and organisational behaviour whilst continuing to learn about Germany’s business environment and recent history. This prepares you for your year abroad.
Spend up to 12 months in a German-speaking country. You’ll have the flexibility to choose a work placement, International Academic Exchange or a combination of both.
In your final year you'll choose from a range of management units and continue to build your expertise in German.
Prepare for the career you want with our Professional Development Programme (PDP). PDP includes training and workshops to improve your skills in areas like:
If you want to do a placement, PDP will help you find a relevant role and make the most of your time there.
Alongside teaching, our academics carry out research in all aspects of business and management. This ensures that you’ll learn about the latest developments in these areas.

The University is investing in a new School of Management building.
The latest technology will give you a flexible and modern learning environment. The design focuses on working together, with an open layout to enable effective teamwork.
Our new building will encourage engagement with other students and academics. A dedicated Employment Hub will provide a space for you to meet and network with our industry partners.
We have an excellent graduate employment record. A high number of our graduates are employed or studying six months after finishing their course (Unistats, 2019):
Recent employers include Deloitte, PwC, BMW, Google and GlaxoSmithKline.
Due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19, information about courses starting in September 2021 may be subject to change. We continue to improve your teaching and learning experience so you gain skills and understanding which are valuable to you and sought after by employers.

We understand that you will want to know more about the shape of the next academic year (2021-22). We have been working hard and planning for different scenarios, in order to be able to welcome you to the University of Bath at the start of semester.
Find out about our plans for offering a safe campus experience for the 2021 to 2022 academic year.
Occasionally we make changes to our programmes in response to, for example, feedback from students, developments in research and the field of studies, and the requirements of accrediting bodies. You will be advised of any significant changes to the advertised programme, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
At Bath, our courses are made up of units of study. Compulsory units cover core concepts that you'll need to understand as part of your degree programme. Some of our courses also offer the opportunity for you to study optional units. These allow you to specialise in particular areas of knowledge that interest you.
As an undergraduate, you will be expected to take 60 credits (ECTS) in each academic year. These are usually split into 30 credits for each semester you study. Sixty credits are the equivalent of 1200 notional hours of study; this includes contact time with staff and your own independent learning.
These compulsory units are currently being studied by our students, or are proposed new units.
Year abroad
You'll be able to choose over 30 optional units in Years 2 and 4. Here are some examples of the units currently being studied by our students.
In Year 3 you will spend up to 12 months in a German-speaking country. You'll have the flexibility to choose a work placement, International Academic Exchange or a combination of both. By spending a year abroad, you’ll have the opportunity to master German.
Read more about the year abroad.
Work placements are real jobs and are usually paid. You'll gain an advantage in the job market with this valuable experience. Read more about the School of Management placement scheme. Recent employers include BMW, Wonderbox and Thales.
Placement opportunities may not be guaranteed, but our dedicated Placements Team will liaise with employers, arrange interviews and help you apply.
The balance of the assessment by examinations and assessment by coursework may depend on the optional modules you choose.
A broad range of assessments methods will be used throughout the degree. As a guide, approximately 48% of assessment is by coursework over the duration of the course.
The final degree classification is determined by your second, third and final year marks and each contributes 24%, 8% and 68% respectively.
We can make reasonable adjustments to assessment procedures for students with disabilities, take a look at our Disability Service’s pages for information.
You should expect to spend approximately 35 to 40 hours a week studying on your course. These hours consist of structured activities and independent learning. You will experience a mix of in person teaching, that will take place on campus, and structured online learning delivered through the University’s virtual learning environment.
Typically, in your first year, you can expect to spend between ten and 15 hours a week on structured learning activities of which approximately 70 to 80% will be in timetabled sessions on campus and the remainder online.
Timetabled sessions delivered in person on campus will be a mix of lectures, seminars and tutorials. Online activities may include following a recorded lecture, or other learning materials, or joining a timetabled live interactive session through Teams or Zoom.
The remainder of your study time outside structured activities, typically around 26 - 28 hours per week in your first year, will be spent in independent learning which includes individual research, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, preparing coursework assignments, presentations, or revising for exams.
To support you in your studies, you will be able to access facilities on campus and in Bath such as study spaces, computers, and the Library outside of timetabled learning.
Your assessments, including any exams, may be online or on-campus. You will be given more details on how they will be delivered for each unit when you start your course.
To take full advantage of the online resources available to you, and to ensure you are prepared for learning fully online, should that become necessary, you will need regular access to a computer with a microphone and camera, along with a reliable internet connection. The University will make available to you the key software you need for your course, including access to Microsoft Teams through your University account.
As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries).
The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.

Find out more about current student fees
You should budget for an increase of up to 5% each year for every further year of study; we will not increase your fees each year by more than this percentage and the amount will be set out on our fee page in December for the following academic year.
If you aren't paying your fees in British pounds, you should also budget for possible fluctuations in your own currency.
To get the most out of online resources, you'll need regular access to a computer with a microphone and camera, and a reliable internet connection. This will also prepare you to learn online full time should it become necessary.
If you are studying an undergraduate course, you may be able to take out a loan for your tuition fees and living costs.
Read more about tuition fee loansYou could be considered for a bursary or scholarship to help you study at Bath. This is in addition to your student loan and you do not have to pay it back.
Read more about bursaries and scholarshipsYou can pay your tuition fees by Direct Debit, debit card, credit card or bank transfer. You may also be eligible for a student loan to help you pay your fees.
Read more about your payment optionsYou will need to budget at least £100 for the cost of photocopying, printing and binding. You will also need to budget for the cost of textbooks.
Some courses involve visits away from campus and you may be required to pay some or all of the costs of travel, accommodation and food and drink.
If you’re on a placement, you’re responsible for your own travel, accommodation and living costs. You should also consider the financial implications if you go on an unpaid or overseas placement.
We will usually assess you based on your UCAS application. If you hold a language qualification that is not covered by our typical entry requirements we may invite you to attend an interview to assess your German level. This interview will usually take place remotely. If you are studying certain qualifications, such as an Access to HE Diploma or a Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma, you may be invited to attend a group interview as part of our selection process so we can better assess your studies and experiences. If you are studying an Access to HE Diploma or Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma, please make sure that your UCAS application is submitted by 15 January: if you apply after this deadline, then it may be too late for us to include you in our interview process.
Very exceptionally we may invite you to an interview if you have circumstances we cannot assess from an application alone.
Our interview page gives more information on what you should expect from an interview.
