Professional competences:

The students have in-depth knowledge of the terminology of Business Spanish especially for the secure and well-versed mastery of complex situations in business life. They know and understand language nuances in the internal environment of a corporation (e.g. from the different departments of a corporation such as marketing, controlling, corporate communications) and they can express themselves in the foreign language in a detailed way (e.g. entrepreneurship, management styles, change management, strategic decisions such as outsourcing). They are able to work on case studies from corporations in written form and to comment on prepared issues in a report (in written or in oral form) while fulfilling the linguistic requirements of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (level C1). For example, this includes a very complex and subject-specific appropriate vocabulary, a mostly error-free application of grammatical structures and the consideration of intercultural aspects.

Comments:

Proof of knowledge in a second business language is compulsory.
