03.11.: German Business Culture

verantwortlich: Anna-Lena Glesinski

for int. students

You have got the knowledge, the ambition, and a global mindset — but figuring out how things really work in the German workplace still feels like a mystery?

This interactive training prepares international graduate and postgraduate students for a successful career start in Germany. Participants will explore key aspects of German business culture, including time management, communication style, hierarchy, and feedback. Using intercultural models and research, students will reflect on their own cultural preferences and compare them with typical German workplace expectations. Real-life case studies help transfer insights into practical skills. The session also offers space for questions and peer exchange to support confident career planning in Germany.

In just 3 hours, you’ll:
✅ Discover how your own cultural style compares with German norms
✅ Learn what „punctuality", „Sachlichkeit", "hierarchy" – and „feedback" – really mean in a German business context
✅ Practice key moments in job applications and interviews
✅ Work on real-life case studies and exchange strategies with fellow internationals
✅ Gain insights from intercultural research that make a real difference in your career path
