But what should you bear in mind when choosing a future degree course? Primarily, the choice of degree should depend on personal talents, skills, and interests. Also, the course of study should be geared towards the practical demands of companies or business sectors. This is the only way a graduate can start a career both quickly and successfully and avoid shock when entering the job market.
Studying at EBC University especially involves a high degree of practical orientation through internships and practical projects and internationalism through foreign language orientation, including the acquisition of cross-cultural competencies. Our students complete an internship at our officially recognized university either in Germany or abroad after the second semester and another internship abroad after the fourth semester. In these internships, the knowledge acquired is put into practice, and students can reflect upon the specialized subjects they will take later in their studies.
Becoming familiar with practical working methods – also in international, foreign-language contexts – makes it easier for students to decide on a future career path. It is also essential for a constant dialogue between companies and academic institutions, and thus for practice-oriented programs, the business world wants to see. The international market orientation is reinforced by a semester abroad at one of the many institutions that cooperate with EBC University.
