Minor in Business English in the 21st Century (subject to approval)

Aims of the Minor

The cross-faculty collaborated Minor in Business English in the 21st Century will offer students specialised training in business English communication skills, which will benefit undergraduate students in several ways. It can provide students with comprehensive language support in English to align with the evolving global and local landscape and offer them a blend of academic study and work-related training experience at the University. It can also enhance their English language and communicative competence needed to succeed in the multilingual and technology-supported workplace for the 21st Century. Additionally, it seeks to broaden students’ global perspectives and understanding of communication theories, practices, and strategies, empowering them to interact effectively in today’s globalised and digitalised professional contexts.
