International Business Studies

Today, companies and organizations employ young people who not only have business and economic training, but also have solid language skills, have a sense of different business cultures and national institutions, and are familiar with internationalization issues.

All of these aspects are combined in the International Business Studies (IBS) course. In addition to economics, you will receive training in two foreign languages ​​(in addition to English, you will deepen either French or Spanish). In the respective foreign language, the focus is on you learning the skills that are relevant in the respective language in business. This means that not only the technical languages ​​are taught in language teaching, but also the ability to give lectures in the respective languages, write applications and CVs and communicate confidently. This is not possible without a sound knowledge of the customs of the respective cultural areas. In addition, special courses are offered for IBS students, in which you deal with economic institutions in a country comparison. IBS is not only international in terms of course content: during your studies, you can spend a semester abroad at one of the approximately 70 partner universities of the faculty!
