Prerequisites and co-requisites

Course content

English teaching in the Bachelor International Business Administration programme is oriented towards the CBI approach (Content Based Instruction) and thus has the following focal points:

  • the teaching of language and communication skills
  • the teaching of specialised business content.

The syllabus of this course provides strategies for dealing with English presentations. The course also provides an introduction to selected management theories (e.g. management by objectives, etc.) and their formative personalities.

Learning outcomes

Professional and convincing presentations are a general basic competence. Students of International Business Administration have to give numerous presentations in the course of their studies; there is no job description in which graduates do not regularly have to speak freely and convince others.

Students can plan and conduct oral presentations in English on business topics, apply appropriate presentation techniques and formulate feedback on the presentations.

Within the framework of the CBI methodology, students can describe business ideas from selected management theories and their formative personalities. They can present the application and/or relevance of the discussed management theories using case studies from business practice.
