EBS is pure internationality. Whether in the curriculum, in the English-language lectures or on the intercultural campus, you can feel everywhere that internationality is part of the EBS DNA.

The fourth semester is completed abroad. Students can choose from more than 200 partner universities on five continents. The purpose of foreign exchange is to familiarise students with international research and teaching methods, enhance their language skills, and give them their first international practical experience through internships. In addition, foreign semesters contribute to each student's personal development and intercultural competence.

Students in this course of study have to complete eight mandatory weeks of internships during their studies – if desired, also abroad. These internships offer the opportunity to transfer the acquired knowledge into practice and to make contact with suitable companies before the end of the study programme.
