Stay Abroad

At the beginning of the second semester, students who have chosen Asia or Eastern Europe as their focus region will stay abroad for four weeks. Depending on the chosen focus region, they will either visit our partner university in Taiwan or Moscow. During this intense learning period, students have the opportunity to gain valuable international experience. In addition, the module “Doing Business with Asia" or "Doing Business with Eastern Europe” respectively is offered abroad.
