Course Description
Economics and French at Aberdeen is a great combination to widen your solid grounding in the global economy and topical economic challenges and issues – giving you the strong competitive advantage of a modern European language, cultural perspective and experience to help fast track you to a career in European and international organisations and business.
In Economics, you will explore the microeconomics of business and society, macroeconomics of the world economy and economic problems in political, social and historical contexts, with a strong emphasis on applied learning. You will thrive in the dynamic, international environment of our Business School of over 40 nationalities and be taught by experts including leading petroleum economist and government adviser Professor Alex Kemp and our health economists whose work influences Scottish and UK policy decisions on public health.
In French, you will take advantage of an outstanding reputation, the highest possible rating in the last national Teaching Quality Assessment, many opportunities to develop your language skills informally as well as through classes and become familiar with French culture, history and contemporary life. You will spend half of year three developing your language skills as a teaching assistant or visiting student in a French-speaking country. Should you choose a career in international business, you will have many advantages to offer employers operating in multinational companies in Europe and also the European Commission. You will also have opportunities in all sectors in French-speaking countries in Africa, which have fast-developing economies and growing energy industries.
