Block Seminars

International Management (B.A.)

1

Block seminars supplement the regular courses which take place. They last for one week and take place once in a semester. Regular courses are suspended during the block seminar week. During the block weeks topics/task are to be dealt with for which longer continuous work periods make sense, or are indeed required, and therefore cannot form part of the normal courses.

In every semester there is a broad range of one-week seminars, projects, case studies, simulation games and excursions on offer. These are often suitable for any disciple but there are also subject or study programme-specific options too. The topics/tasks have a particularly practical orientation. Students work on tasks related to interdisciplinary topics in small groups/teams, and prepare and present the results of these.

Block seminars are offered in other languages as well as in German. In addition, guest lecturers from partner universities are regularly involved.

Students have to take part in at least two block seminars during their study programme.
