The study trip affords students the opportunity to acquire intercultural skills. Under the instruction of course leadership, students learn about potential study trip destinations, research relevant data and facts about the target country and organize the program independently: Students spend a week in an international environment as they visit companies and attend lectures at partner universities while also taking in other presentations and events, which ensures that students acquire an understanding of the main cultural currents of the respective country. Discussions with specialists and executives, visits to foreign trade centers as well as economic and social associations complement the international, character-building experience of the study trip.
