  • conveying knowledge of basic business principles and economic concepts within the dynamics of an ever-changing corporate environment
  • expanding intercultural awareness by examining German social customs and cultural practices in business situations
  • developing a strategic skill set for analyzing and presenting facts, ideas and viewpoints both orally and in writing
  • strengthening networking and team-working techniques
  • preparing students for an internationally held and accredited Business German exam
