A.7. Internationalization of the Bachelor Degree Course
The internationalisation of the economy is playing an increasingly important role. This is clearlyreflected in the course, above all in the international focus of the teaching curriculum. Value isalso placed on students language qualifications. Business English (as a compulsory course unit)and Business Spanish (as an additional option) in the curriculum are very important.Internationalisation also means that students are encouraged to undertake an internationalexchange. This is possible, for example, in the framework of a term spent abroad. Bremerhaven

C. General information about Hochschule Bremerhaven
C.1. Why to study at Hochschule Bremerhaven?
Characteristic of Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences is its campus with an ensemble ofarchitecturally charming historical and new buildings right on the waterfront. No sign ofovercrowded lecture theatres and masses of anonymous faces here, a good learning climate andthe compact size of the university makes it possible to find your way on the campus very quickly.This almost familiar atmosphere is underlined by the close collaboration with the professors.
Excellently equipped laboratories and institutes guarantee a practical focus in the Bachelorcourse.
