Location of Dublin Institute of Technology
This programme is truly the most international that DIT has to offer: it attracts students from Ireland´s increasingly diverse range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds, as well as students from across the globe who wish to perfect their command of English and gain a thorough grounding in business studies. Graduates of this programme will go on to bring much-needed linguistic diversity to the 21st Century workplace both in Ireland and abroad.
This Honours Degree programme is for non-native speakers of English or Irish. As it is a conjoint programme offered by the Faculties of Applied Arts and Business, contact hours are split evenly between language and business subjects.
In order to study the business subjects, which are taught entirely through English, students should have a good level of linguistic competence in English on admission (see entry requirements for details). Classes in English language foster the study of the language (i.e. contextual analysis and interpretation) as well as furthering language acquisition.
Students also achieve a good working competence in a second foreign language, which is taken from beginner´s level. Second languages on offer include beginner´s level Italian, Russian, Spanish, and German. Students may not study their native language as their second language.
