Why Choose a German-Taught W-Course?

Germany is Europe's largest economy and one of the world's leading destinations for higher education and international careers. The country's economy is driven by more than 3.5 million small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which account for 99% of all businesses and employ more than 21 million people. These companies form the backbone of Germany's economy and increasingly seek graduates who can communicate confidently in German.
Our German-taught W-Course (Wirtschaftskurs) prepares international students for admission to partnered German universities while developing the academic German language skills required for success in business-related degree programmes. Alongside mathematics, economics and business fundamentals, students gain the subject-specific vocabulary needed for lectures, examinations and future professional environments.
