This means that it has a marked international profile, both in terms of the subjects taught, and in terms of the study environment, you will become part of it. And last, but not least, the marked international profile is reflected in the double degree which you will obtain on graduation: a Danish as well as a German Bachelor's degree.
Curriculum
A broad range of subjects
BSc in international business administration and foreign languages is the study program for you if you want to combine studies in business language with studies in business economics. Faced with growing political, economic, cultural, and social globalization, businesses will make increasing demands on their employees, who will have to work across national and linguistic borders.
This BSc will qualify you for analyzing, evaluating, and solving the tasks involved in the international activities of business enterprises, and it will qualify you for performing the communication and mediation tasks arising in connection with such activities. You will obtain the competencies you need via foreign language training, via knowledge of social conditions, and via knowledge of the sociological and economic factors influencing decision-making processes in various cultures.
BSc in international business administration and foreign languages is made up of business economics and a foreign language component, the emphasis being on the former. The subjects of the foreign language component are taught in the relevant language, whereas the business economics subjects are taught in either Danish, German, or English.
The primary foreign language studied in Flensburg is German (for students with Danish as their mother tongue) or Danish (for students with German as their mother tongue). The secondary foreign language is English.
Note that this BSc crosses borders, which means that teachers as well as fellow students will come from both Germany and Denmark. Also, the German curriculum deviates somewhat from the Danish one.
Study groups
Note that preparing for lectures will take up the majority of the time you spend on your studies. We recommend that you participate in a study group since this will enable you to discuss what you have read, preparing you for the way you will later cooperate with your colleagues on joint projects in a business context.
A semester abroad
Your 5th semester can be spent at a university or college abroad, which gives you the opportunity to strengthen your foreign language competence, among others. The University of Southern Denmark has signed bilateral agreements with a number of universities and business colleges in Europe, the USA, Australia, Asia, etc.
