Winner of the UK Trade and Investment Business Language Prize


This University of Hull module integrates academic and business cultures and fosters group work and independent learning. Matching linguistic competences to work expectations is an important element, reinforced by links with the local business community. The project comprises ten weekly sessions covering topics such as company structure, business objectives and presentation techniques in the foreign language.

The module also includes a written report followed by an oral presentation, with business representatives included in the evaluation of the ideas, presentation and language skills. The approach offers an excellent introduction to postgraduate studies and is ideal preparation for the workplace.
