Why is this course for me? The BComm International (BCIT) combines a flexible business education from Ireland’s leading business school with the linguistic skills and a cultural understanding to succeed in the exciting world of international business.
Students of the BCIT course are well- grounded in the theory and practice of business management and equipped to understand and comment critically on business issues. This, coupled with the study of a chosen language and culture, gives graduates a unique competitive advantage in understanding the global business world.
You’ll spend your third year abroad in one of our partner institutions. As Ireland’s number one business school, our international reputation means our partner universities are highly regarded destinations for your study.
What will I study? In your first semester you’ll study two languages, choosing from Chinese, French, German, Italian or Spanish. (A Spanish/ German combination in first year may be subject to change.) With the exception of French (HC3 requirement), you have the option to study these languages from beginner level.
Towards the end of this semester you’ll select one language to pursue to degree level (as a minor). (Please see table on page 188) During the first two years, you’ll also receive a firm foundation in core business disciplines and language modules. Examples include:

Third and Fourth Years When studying abroad in third year you’ll have two options:
The Modern Languages Route: You’ll attend one of our partner international universities or business schools, where you’ll continue your studies in the host language (except for Chinese, where you’ll study the Chinese language, along with business modules through English). In fourth year you continue studying business and your chosen language subjects at UCD.
The Global Business Route: You’ll study through English at one of our international partner universities or business schools before returning to UCD in fourth year, where you’ll focus on studying business and intercultural skills, with no language.
In final year you can specialise in a particular business discipline (such as Accountancy, Management, Marketing, Banking and Finance, MIS or HRM) or study a mix of business subjects.
Students attend lectures, tutorials and seminars, and undertake group and individual presentations, project work and independent study. Projects include case studies, business simulations, presentations and web development.
Career & Graduate Study Opportunities BComm International graduates find employment in the private, public and not-for-profit or NGO sectors, or set up their own companies. Many different career paths are available, and students who can combine an international language with a business qualification are highly employable graduates for multinational companies.

“As you get to study a combination of both language and business subjects, Commerce International sets you up for an exciting future. Throughout my four years with UCD, I had the opportunity to build my skillset and knowledge of my chosen language (Chinese) and a wide variety of business subjects. Quinn Business School is a fantastic learning environment with supportive learning facilities and a unique atmosphere. Spending a year abroad was an unforgettable experience as I got the chance to meet other students from all over the world while exposing myself to an entirely different language and culture. Through both my course and the various student activities I got involved in, I feel my time at UCD has set me up for an exciting future in International Business.”
