ESMT Offers MBA Students Two-Month German Course: Intensive language course

ESMT is giving its future students the chance to improve their German language skills courses at every level. For students enrolling at ESMT by the end of July 2011, ESMT will cover the tuition costs. For those who decide to come to ESMT after this date, the program will be offered at a discount.

Because of its strong economic growth Germany has become a highly attractive market for successful MBA alumni. The language courses are part of the support ESMT offers its students to find a job in Germany. Sixty per cent of the ESMT alumni already work in Germany after graduation. Nick Barniville, Director of MBA Programs, commented, “Thanks to the close relationship with our founding companies we know that German language skills are still highly important to find employment in Germany. We are glad that we were able to win the renowned Goethe Institute Berlin as partner for our students’ top level education.”

The intensive 8-week-training begins in mid-October and ends in mid-December, two weeks before the start of the MBA program. The future MBA students therefore have the chance to get to know Berlin before the beginning of their studies. The program also offers the opportunity to rent a room from German hosts and have direct contact with the German language and culture. The courses go half a day every weekday, and the students receive a certificate upon the successful completion of the course.

During the MBA program, ESMT continues to offer students weekly German lessons on campus; they can also take advantage of further Goethe courses at discounted rates after graduation.
