Languages and Business Administration (Bachelor)

With the course in Languages and Business Administration the whole world lies at your feet. In our course we offer a combination of economics, languages and intercultural communication. In the language field you can choose to major in the Chinese, francophone or hispanophone (Spanish-speaking) language and cultural areas. In addition to Spanish it is also possible to consolidate Portuguese.

Particular experiences are on offer both through a foreign study semester at our partner universities in China, France, Spain and Latin America and a foreign internship in a country of your target culture as an integral part of your studies. After your course jobs in internationally active companies or also directly in foreign countries will be no problem for you. A study carried out by our faculty showed that our graduates find suitable jobs very quickly.

From the winter semester 2023/24 you can start the study focus Business Communication German at German level A2. In the first year of study, you will attend English-language specialist seminars and quickly improve your German skills through intensive language training. In addition to an excellent education in the colloquial and business language German and English, you will acquire comprehensive economic knowledge and intercultural skills.

Note: The previous study focus "francophone culture"  will no longer be offered from the winter semester 2023/24. As an alternative, the degree program Applied Media Communication German-French will be offered.
