The purpose of the Bachelor of Commerce (International) programme is to develop commercially astute graduates with a global mind-set that will make a significant contribution to business and broader society.  Graduates will demonstrate critical awareness of business trends, issues, and developments; be creative problem-solvers and have an analytical approach to decision-making; have a deep-rooted ethical, societal and cross-cultural awareness; show a penchant for entrepreneurship and innovation; demonstrate a capacity to communicate persuasively and professionally in their chosen language; and have a life-long commitment to personal and professional excellence and development.

We aspire to produce graduates that, over the long-term, will assume leadership positions and will have a significant impact on the development of business, economic, and social life, both nationally and internationally.

The Bachelor of Commerce (International) curriculum is designed to develop future leaders through a range of transformative educational experiences and pedagogical innovations that focus on conceptual understanding, technical mastery, and practical wisdom. Students spend an academic year with an international partner university, so are immersed in the language and culture of the host country. Students gain a depth of understanding of living and working in an international environment during their year abroad. They also have the opportunity to participate in a range of other educational experiences, including business internships, and case study competitions.

The programme emphasises a mix of teaching and assessment methods, including lectures and tutorials, laboratories, case studies, essays, consulting reports, debates, presentations, group assignments, and business simulations. Students are exposed to faculty, national and international, with a range of different perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds.

1 - Explain the systems of thought and theoretical underpinnings that have shaped the development of business and management practice.
2 - Evaluate the influence of economic, social, cultural, historical, and technological forces shaping business and management today.
3 - Critically appreciate the interplay and interdependencies of business functions, including accounting, finance, operations, information systems, management, marketing, and human resource management.
4 - Demonstrate critical thinking and independent reasoning skills in situations of decision-making and problem-solving, as supported by the appropriate use of analytical and quantitative techniques.
5 - Incorporate insights from related disciplines (such as mathematics, economics, information systems, cross cultural and language studies) to identify, frame, and solve business problems.
6 - Demonstrate an active awareness of ethical values and business issues concerning the advancement of the broader societal ‘good’.
7 - Demonstrate an active awareness of ethical issues in key business functions.
8 - Demonstrate an appreciation of the nature and role of cultural values of their chosen host country.
9 - Communicate, in a professional and informed manner, appropriate business and management concepts, ideas, arguments, recommendations and solutions.
10 - Communicate business ideas in their chosen language.
11 - Identify and apply the major steps in discovering, evaluating, and exploiting opportunities for new ventures and business enterprises.
12 - Develop interpersonal and collaborative learning skills and independent and lifelong learning skills.

This degree combines business subjects and a language during the four-year course. Graduates are recognised by employers as having a leading international business degree, with the additional benefit of language skills - providing more opportunities.

At the same time you will take courses relating to your chosen language through the UCD School of Languages, Literatures and Film.

In Stage 3, you will study at one of our partner European universities/business schools to follow a full academic programme of business subjects. These will be given through your chosen language.

UCD Quinn School's international accreditations and reputation means that on graduation, you will have achieved a degree that is recognised internationally. The BComm (International) degree is a highly valued business qualification, acknowledged by major universities, professional bodies and employers around the world. That means you have tremendous opportunities in any number of business areas, such as:
