Master Langues Etrangeres Appliquees — Business Development Trilingue à l'International

Université d'Angers offers the Master Langues Etrangeres Appliquees — Business Development Trilingue à l'International as a two-year master's programme based in Angers, France, taught in French. Applied foreign languages, known as LEA in the French system, combines the study of at least two foreign languages with training in business, economics, or law, preparing students to work in international and multilingual professional environments. A track oriented toward trilingual international business development typically builds proficiency in French alongside two additional languages, while covering subjects such as international trade, marketing, negotiation, business law, and intercultural communication relevant to developing business activity across different countries and markets. Students in this kind of programme typically study international marketing and sales strategy, export and import procedures, cross-cultural business communication, and applied language courses focused on professional and commercial vocabulary in each of the languages studied. Coursework generally combines classroom instruction with case studies on international markets, group projects simulating business development activities, and internships within companies engaged in international trade or export, culminating in a dissertation or professional project. Students often develop skills in preparing commercial documents, conducting market research abroad, and communicating with international partners and clients in multiple languages. Graduates from trilingual international business development programmes commonly pursue careers as export or international business developers, international account managers, trade or marketing coordinators, or roles within companies and organisations operating across multiple language markets. The programme spans two years, starts in September, and carries a yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Since instruction is in French, applicants should have solid proficiency in French as well as strong skills in their other working languages.
