Sprachen lernen im BWL Studium an der HIB  Sprachen lernen im BWL Studium an der HIB

During your course we qualify you for modern, communication-oriented service occupations. In order that you can make full use of the fascinating job opportunities available in this era of internationalisation and globalisation your management studies also require you to complete a high-level qualification in at least two foreign languages. The language training is geared to the demands of your eventual employer and the needs of your eventual business partners.

During your training at Heidelberg International Business Academy you receive comprehensive training in soft skills. Why? Because we prepare you for an international career in service management: soft skills, that is to say the knowledge required to deal with people and decisions, are something that you can and must deploy in working life across all countries and sectors.

During your studies at HIB, presentations, workshops and work on case studies or projects give you the chance to train in the use of all kinds of media. Furthermore, we bring you up to speed for the workplace in all professionally relevant software applications such as internet, text processing, spreadsheets, data bases and presentation software.

Anne Keller, International Office Management

management programme combined with foreign language studies at the HIB - graduate  Anne KellerEven while still at school, I knew that my eventual career would involve languages. I very much liked the sound of International Office Manager as a job description since it combines languages with organisation and business aspects.

This expectation was confirmed during the two years at HIB. The combination of language subjects, expertly taught by competent and in some cases native-speaking tutors, with business and economic subjects as well as office organisation meant that the training was interesting and varied. During different voluntary place-ments I realised that the knowledge imparted by the HIB is very practice oriented and can be put to a multitude of uses.

Since completing my course, during which I also passed the language examinations of the London, Paris and Madrid chambers of Industry and Commerce, I have been working as a foreign correspondence secre-tary and assistant in the Baden-Württemberg federal state office at the EU in Brussels. I find my language and organisational skills extremely useful here and am glad I decided to train at Heidelberg International Business Academy.
