About This Course
(BCIT) is a multi-disciplinary Business degree incorporating intercultural competencies and linguistic knowledge, which promote creativity and comprehension of a rapidly evolving world. Students pursue a major in business alongside a minor in a chosen language.
This programme combines a flexible business education from Ireland’s leading business school with the linguistic skills and multicultural insights required to succeed in the exciting world of international business.
Students gain a deep knowledge of the principles of business and develop the necessary skills to understand and apply these in the business world.
To achieve a truly global perspective of business, it is necessary to not just learn the vocabulary of your chosen language, but to immerse yourself in the culture and develop an intercultural mindset. BCIT students will take a range of literature and culture modules from the UCD School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics (approximately 40% of curriculum).
Students are brought to a high level of language proficiency and cultural sensitivity, which enables them to live abroad for a year and to study business through their chosen language during year 3. This immersive experience, though a demanding challenge, significantly enhances intercultural competencies. These competencies are strongly linked to innovative thinking and creative performance, ultimately increasing employability skills. For students, it is a real highlight of their university experience.
On applying, students will select two languages to study, choosing from Chinese, French, German, Italian or Spanish. With the exception of French, you will have the opportunity to study these languages from beginner level. At the end of the first trimester, students choose one language to pursue as their language minor for the remainder of the course.
First Year
Financial Accounting • Microeconomics for Business • Maths for Business • Inside Organisations • Foundations of Management • Business in Society • Data Analysis • 4 x Language & Culture/ Literature modules
Second Year
Management Accounting • Marketing • Human Resources • Studies in Global Operations • Principles of Finance • Digital Technologies • 5 x Language & Culture/Literature modules. Some examples of culture and literature modules currently on offer include French New Wave Cinema, Surrealism in Spain and Mexico, Grimm’ Tales and Adaptations, Italian Cinema and Society.
Third Year
International Study Abroad This mandatory year studying abroad is an integral part of the BCIT course. You will spend the year studying at one of our highly regarded international business school partners. With the European language minors, you will study business modules through the chosen language for the year, while the Chinese minor involves one trimester studying Chinese language and a second trimester studying business through English. In third year, you will also have an opportunity to participate in the BCIT summer internship module for academic credit.
Fourth Year
In final year, students will continue with language and culture/literature studies in addition to business modules. Students have the flexibility to tailor their business module choices to a specific business area of interest if they wish such as Accountancy, Management, Marketing, Banking and Finance, Management Information Systems or Human Resource Management.
Business Mentoring Programme
In second year, students can participate in a personalised mentorship programme gaining industry knowledge, advice and support from the business alumni community.
To achieve a truly global perspective of business, it is necessary to not just learn the vocabulary of your chosen language, but to immerse yourself in the culture and develop an intercultural mindset.
Stage 3 is a mandatory year abroad and is an integral part of the BCIT course. You will spend the year studying at one of our highly regarded international business school partners. With the European language minors, you will study business modules through the chosen language for the year, while the Chinese minor involves one trimester studying Chinese language and a second trimester studying business through English.
The focus on multicultural competencies gives BCIT graduates a unique competitive advantage in the global marketplace. 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.
BComm International graduates find employment in the private, public and not-for-profit or NGO sectors, or set up their own companies with many different career paths available.
BCIT Students have the option to complete a summer internship for academic credit. The 5-credit business summer internship module allows students to gain credit for professional workplace experience. The aim of the module is to provide students with the opportunity to reflect on and develop their personal and professional skills and gain an understanding of how theory presented in modules translates into practice. Students have the option to complete their summer internship in Ireland or in their host country after their year abroad. Completing an internship not only allows students to develop their professional & personal skills but also helps to inform their career decision-making and enhance their employability.

As part of the curriculum, students are engaged with issues related to sustainability in all of its many facets, including responsible leadership, responsible consumption and production, climate action, and inclusive business practices. As educators, we believe in the value of exposing our students to a variety of perspectives on the role of business in society and equipping them with the knowledge and skills they need to tackle even the most intractable problems. Our programmes seek to develop informed and imaginative leaders that are mindful of responsible and sustainable business objectives and practices and embrace the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) in the curriculum.
- Quality education: Promote inclusive and equal opportunities for lifelong learning (SDG4)

- Responsible consumption and production: Ensure suitable consumption and production patterns (SDG12)
Studying Commerce International with Chinese has significantly enhanced my understanding of the nuanced global world. This course has afforded me the opportunity to blend insights from both the business realm, with the opportunity of completing internships with KPMG and a year-long exchange in Hong Kong. My study abroad experience stands out as one of the most enriching periods of my university journey. It has instilled me with a profound cross-cultural perspective and experiences that will undoubtedly propel me forward in my future career. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wishes to engage in the global business world, connecting with another culture and acquiring a new language.

The programme captivated me due to its promise of delving into business from a worldwide vantage point. UCD Quinn provided not only education but also a launchpad for my personal and professional growth.
The Commerce International programme gave me a profound grasp of intricate global business dynamics. While learning Chinese within a business context was demanding, the rewards were immeasurable.
