Depending on the language in which the students present their case study in international marketing, they get special guidance to optimize their communicative skills in English (or French).
Topics
This module consists of two parts
- The first part consists of10 hours of classes. Subjects are broached which are relevant for the language and terminology used in international marketing and have a direct bearing on the case study the students have to work on.

Moreover, students are also given information about language-related aspects that may be helpful in their future careers such as putting together a CV in English, letter of application, resources for finding jobs abroad.
