Overview of the study contents
Module 0.1 - Studium generale (14 ECTS)
Prof. Dr. Gerald Gerlach
This module brings together important subject areas that will help students 'arrive' in their new environment, bring them together and give them an insight into new cultures.
German class - part 1
A short test is taken at the beginning of the course to determine your level. On this basis, students learn the most important vocabulary and phrases to enable them to cope in everyday life. At the same time, students are familiarised with German culture.
German class - part 2
This part of the course focuses on language and professional work. Preparation of job applications plays an important role. Students also learn how to conduct job interviews and simulate interviews with companies.
Cultural and team competences
This course helps students to get to know and understand their fellow students and their cultures better. At the same time, students learn about team composition and the different roles in a team and their benefits and strengths. By solving creative tasks, students practise these roles and acquire important skills for leading teams in their future careers.
Sustainability project
After an intensive workshop in which the students receive the most important knowledge on the topic of sustainability, they work on a project of their own choice in which they put the theory they have learnt into practice and write it up.
