The European Union in a Global World
The business programmes of the summer school are a unique blend of business, politics, language and culture, offering business and economics students alike the chance to undertake a demanding, in-depth study of Germany and the European Union.
Students will spend four weeks of interdisciplinary study on business, economics, environmental studies, and social sciences. This course programme has been especially designed for U.S. students in accordance with the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service).
The programme also received the DAAD quality seal for 2008 through 2012. These altogether 17 short-term programmes have been singled out in a highly selective competition and reviewed in their first year of operation by a committee of distinguished study abroad professionals from the US and Germany. Additionally, they share the common characteristics of taking place during academic holidays, being discipline specific, taught in English, and incorporating a German language-learning component.
