Are they actually useful? Enjoyable? I have a DD who keeps changing her mind. The other option is pure Language.

Thanks for that @IdaGlossop. I have another DC who did a language degree and doing ok in a first ‘proper’ job. DD was set on a different language degree and now had her head turned by a combo with business. They also have EU passports, fwiw. I don’t know if it’s nerves about entry requirements after her exams, or what the appeal is. Glad to hear your DD enjoyed her year abroad. It was during Covid for our other one, so still abroad but with restrictions.

It depends on the language and it depends on the business degree. A joint MFL and Business degree could be potentially very useful and very interesting.
Any MFL is useful, but some are more useful than others.
A business degree covers a very broad subject. I'd be having a look at course content and destination data, and finding a course that has good opportunities for meaningful contact with a variety of workplaces, opportunities for work experience, and that can support finding work opportunities in the summer vacations.
