Degree programme specification
The German for Professional Practice programme is a three-year bachelor's degree programme with a practical focus.
With a large number of hours of language exercises and seminars focused on communication in everyday life and in a professional environment, it offers the opportunity to improve your German language skills and reach level B2. Students gain an overview of the literature, culture and attractions of German-speaking countries and have the opportunity to participate not only in selected seminars abroad, but also in half-year stays at foreign universities.
The programme is unique due to the high number of hours of work experience in companies, enterprises and institutions cooperating with German-speaking countries. Attractive subjects include professional courses focused on corporate culture and communication in the corporate environment, xxx and presentation techniques, etc., led by experienced practitioners. Other foreign languages such as English and Italian are also offered. Students thus acquire the necessary knowledge and skills for their employment in interesting professions, but also the necessary prerequisites for further study in the German language follow-up programme.
