Annotation
This degree course opens the doors to the world for you. The programme combines languages, economics and intercultural communication in one course. Students can choose between focusing on Chinese or Ibero-Romance languages and cultures. In addition to an excellent education in the common and business language of the chosen major as well as the second language English, you acquire extensive knowledge of Economics and skills in the field of Intercultural Communication. You will acquire key qualifications such as interdisciplinary thinking, teamwork and cooperation skills as well as a successful attitude towards values and norms of other cultures. The highlight of the LBA course is the integrated year abroad. You study a semester at a partner university in China, Spain, Latin America or Portugal, and then do a company internship in the target country.
