About this course

Business economics with marketing and Spanish is a combination built for students who want to understand commercial life from multiple vantage points: the analytical rigour of economics, the strategic and creative dimensions of marketing, and the linguistic and cultural competence to operate in Spanish-speaking markets that together account for one of the world's largest economic and cultural zones. Business economics applies economic theory directly to the decisions that firms and managers face, from pricing and competition to strategy and market entry. Marketing asks how those decisions translate into the customer relationships and brand positions that determine commercial success.

At the University of Dundee, this four-year full-time programme also includes a year abroad, giving you the opportunity to study or work in a Spanish-speaking environment as part of your degree. The typical entry tariff of 200 points reflects the academically demanding and competitive nature of the programme. You will develop your Spanish language skills to a high level alongside your study of economics and marketing, creating a combination that is genuinely distinctive in the graduate labour market.

The year abroad is particularly valuable in the context of Spanish, deepening your linguistic fluency and cultural understanding in ways that classroom study alone cannot achieve.

Graduates of this combination are well placed for careers in international business, marketing, trade, financial services, consultancy, and any commercial role where Spanish-speaking markets are relevant. The economics training gives you strong analytical and quantitative skills, the marketing training gives you strategic and commercial awareness, and the language gives you access to an enormous global marketplace. Many graduates go on to roles in international marketing, export development, business development, and market analysis in organisations with interests in Latin America, Spain, or the broader Spanish-speaking world.

Postgraduate study in business, marketing, international business, or economics is a natural next step for those who want to specialise or develop their expertise further.
