B.A. ICB
The B.A. program “Intercultural Communication and Business“, started in the winter semester 21/22. The study program combines a foreign language focus with a second language and business economics studies, as well as modules in commercial law.
The program is the further development and specification of the previous study program “Moderne Fremdsprachen, Kulturen und Wirtschaft“. The new study program is marked by its new orientation within the economic and business studies and an additional commercial law focus. Intercultural communication functions as the common denominator between business, economics and languages and prepares students for work requirements in a global and transnational world.
B.A. ICB students can find more detailed information about the internship, the B.A. thesis and more on the ICB ILIAS page.
