This degree is the only one of its type in Ireland and is a unique and exciting way to learn business. You will spend the first two years in DCU (including a work placement in Ireland) and the final two years in the relevant partner institution abroad, where you study through that country's language and university system. You will also go on a work placement while abroad. At the end of your four years of study, you will graduate with two qualifications, one from DCU and one from the partner institution. Business: The main emphasis is on business subjects. Over the four years, you will gain an understanding of the principles of business, especially international business. In your first two years, you will study subjects such as accounting, finance, economics and marketing. On transferring to the partner institution in Year Three, the focus on international business continues, and in Year Four, you have the opportunity to specialise in a variety of business areas. Language and culture: For students on DC112, DC113 and DC114, the course includes the study of European political, cultural and social developments. These are combined with the study of French, German or Spanish, which will be your working language of the final two years of the course. Overseas students have the opportunity to learn another European language in Years One and Two, or Chinese.

This degree is designed to develop graduates who will be future leaders in an increasingly international and diverse business environment. This course has at its core the opportunity to study in an overseas business school and to immerse yourself in international business, cultural and social practices. Graduates from this course are working around the world, from Brussels to Buenos Aires, specialising in a range of areas including finance, marketing and human resource management.
