Business English Programme

The Business English Programme is designed for students who have already achieved ‘Abitur‘ level or who have successfully completed the Basic English Programme. It consists of four courses at the end of which you will have reached level B 2 of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). This will allow you to attend courses of the English Language Skills Programme.

The courses focus on business-related topics and situations rather than on topics of general interest. To those of you interested in a more general approach we recommend the General English Programme.

The programme starts every winter semester. A placement test is mandatory before entering the programme.
