The Business and a Language degree is designed to prepare students for a career in International Business. Educational experts emphasise the special challenges associated with the study of two disparate disciplines, employing different teaching approaches and requiring different learning styles on the part of the student, but they also stress that mastery of these challenges builds skills that are particularly sought after by employers.

Students are required to achieve a minimum Leaving Certificate H6/O4, GCSE Grade B, or the international equivalent.
