English and Communication Studies, BA (Hons)

The BA English and Business programme features two key strengths. First, this interdisciplinary degree goes beyond basic business English or general business theory, equipping students with expertise in linguistics, translation, and interpreting alongside specialisation in finance and economics or management and marketing—a rare offering among English programmes in China. Second, flexible optional modules in English studies allow students to tailor their learning, crafting a unique academic profile for stronger employability and postgraduate prospects.Studying at XJTLU provides fundamental knowledge in finance/economics or management/marketing, skills in accounting or statistical analysis, and specialised expertise in linguistics, translation, interpreting, and business—highly valued by employers. Gain insights into language use across cultures and workplaces to boost communication efficiency. Benefit from the 2+2 option (two years at XJTLU + two at University of Liverpool) for both pathways, earning dual degrees: one from XJTLU (Chinese Ministry of Education) and one from the globally recognised University of Liverpool, a Russell Group leader.
