Formål

The objective of the course is to prepare the student for the challenge of conducting business in English through studies of relevant research and central theories within the subject area. In addition, the objective is to enable the student to account for and apply this knowledge in relation to issues within the subject area in real-life scenarios and at the same time develop clear and concise speaking and writing skills.

Indhold

The subject matter comprises the main areas of business such as management, corporate governance, marketing, business performance, finance (M&A) etc. through the study and discussion of authentic business texts. During the course the student will have to prepare and present written and oral summaries and other business communication as well as analyses within the fields of study. Vocabulary and grammar exercises will be used to supplement the reading of articles. The course thus offers many opportunities for improving fluency and vocabulary.

 

The student will have the opportunity to hand in four written assignments in the form of executive summaries, reports and critical comments.
