Study bilingually or completely in English
In order to be well received wherever you go, you can perfect your English language skills by taking the Bachelor of International Business Study Program in two languages (70% German, 30% English) or completely in English. Seize this opportunity!
If you love the challenge of studying bilingual German/English, you should choose the Bilingual Track. You will get to know technical terms in both languages and thus prepare yourself optimally for a future in both the German-speaking and the international business world. A very good knowledge of German and English is required for this track.
In the English Track you will study entirely in English, so you should have excellent English language skills for this track. German language skills are not required. In lecture groups with students from all over the world you will develop your intercultural skills from the first semester on. The track offers international students without any knowledge of German the opportunity to learn German as a foreign language and thus become familiar with the German-speaking culture.
