English and International Business – Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University

The interdisciplinary BA English and International Business programme offers academic subjects related to English and language studies and courses on international business. The aim is to produce graduates who not only understand how international business works but also have an excellent command of languages and a critical awareness of the use of languages in business and professional contexts.

The English side offers three pathways (you will choose one to pursue): the Linguistics pathway, the Literature pathway, and the Interpreting and Translation pathway. Regarding the other side, i.e., International Business, you will study marketing and international management alongside students in XJTLU’s International Business School Suzhou (IBSS).
