About

Overview

Are you looking for a course that gives you a headstart in international business, as well as a rich cultural experience in another country? Then the BA in Global Business (France) could be for you.

This degree gives you the skills and knowledge you need to thrive in the fast-moving world of business. Not only that, but the course also gives you the opportunity to qualify with two degrees by the end of this four-year programme, and you’ll have the chance to gain fluency in French.

International Degree
The BA in Global Business (France) combines international business with intercultural experience and work placements. You’ll spend your first two years in DCU (including a work placement in Ireland), and then your final two years in Neoma Business School, our partner in France.

While in there, you’ll study through French and complete a second work placement with a French-based company. By the end of the course you will have a broad understanding of international business, and will graduate with two degrees, from DCU and from Neoma Business School.
