Master of Science in Nuclear Science and Engineering

at University of Bristol - Clifton Campus United Kingdom

In this four-year degree course you will learn about international business and spend a year abroad at one of our partner universities studying in the host language.

This degree is the same as the three-year BSc International Business Management course during the first two years. In the first year you will learn basic concepts and tools – both qualitative and quantitative – for the study of management, as well as exploring the global business environment.

During your second year you will have the chance to tailor your degree via optional units; popular second-year options in the past have included Management Science, Consumer Behaviour and Project Management. You will also learn about research design, data collection and analysis to prepare you for dissertation writing.

You will spend your third year abroad studying modules in business and management in your chosen language at one of our partner universities.

You will return to Bristol for your final year, when you will complete a dissertation – a piece of individual research in which you can focus on a topic of your choice. You will also take other core and optional units; popular final-year options in the past have included Strategy, Data Analytics and Human Resource Management.

This joint honours degree allows you to study two complementary disciplines, both of which ask you to think carefully about texts in their wider cultural and historical contexts. This course combines the broad historical knowledge and well-developed research skills gained in a history degree with the in-depth cultural awareness and advanced linguistic skills that develop through studying a modern language.

You will join two departments with top researchers in a great diversity of fields and will be encouraged to develop expertise and research skills relevant to both disciplines while also considering the relationships between them.

Your third year will be spent abroad, where you will have the opportunity to explore these intersections in the distinct cultural and social context of your host country while studying or working. Those who choose to study at a university will be urged to select history-based options while those who opt for work placements will be encouraged to seek placements in the heritage sector. For further details of year abroad opportunities visit Global Opportunities.

In your final year you will get the chance to explore these intersections independently in a dissertation. You will be required to write a historically-minded dissertation using some sources written in Portuguese.

The combined knowledge of history, language and culture will mean you are uniquely placed to foster and to lead intercultural communication across national boundaries, a skill that is increasingly sought after in a globalised economy.

Studying a combination of history of art and Italian offers an enriching experience with exciting intellectual challenges and provides a valuable skill set that is ideally tailored to an increasingly globalised workplace.

Italian language and culture have had a lasting impact on Europe. Today, Italy's innovative contributions to design, technology and fashion make it a major global commercial force.

You will study a combination of language, art history and culture units, spending your third year abroad in an Italian-speaking country on a study or work placement. While abroad, you will refine your skills in your chosen language along with your cultural understanding.
