General Information:
Course A: Perspectives and Developments in the EU
In this interactive lecture, students discuss the history of European integration following World War II, learn about the challenges and responsibilities of the European Union’s institutions, and discover the link between political developments and subsequent economic outcomes in the Single European Market and the Eurozone. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the European Union and discuss the EU‘s opinions for the future. Included in the overall program are visits to institutions such as the European Parliament in Strasbourg, the European Central Bank in Frankfurt and the German stock market, known as the Börse Frankfurt.
Course B: European Business, Politics and Culture
In interactive lectures with various professors and industry experts, students will explore a number of topics relevant in today’s business environment. Classroom and off-site lectures are led by some of the Business School’s top professors and a number of industry experts from major firms and institutions. Company visits illustrate how these topics affect real companies and institutions, providing students with the chance to pose questions directly to business owners, R&D managers, recruiters, etc.
Course C: German as a Foreign Language
We offer a beginner’s course for students without previous knowledge in the German language. Based on a placement test for those who want to improve their language profile by acquiring good basic skills in German, we will check a participant’s skill level in the German language and find suitable classes in our regular program of Pforzheim University’s Institute of Foreign Languages. The different levels are indicated in the "Common European Framework of Reference for Languages" (CEFR).
