Aims

In Belgium  the Flemish community (Dutch speaking!) is the larger one compared to the French speaking community. Furthermore, it has to be pointed out here that Dutch  - it's in the name - is the Dutch people's language, i.e. the language of  the inhabitants of the Netherlands. So by learning Dutch foreign candidate-economists not only acquire a tool for socializing and deepening their understanding of Flemish and Belgian culture but they also enhance their opportunities on the European job and business market considerably.

Dutch 1 provides the student with the necessary knowledge and language skills to take their first successful steps in a new language environment.

In this course, the following key objectives are (partially or fully) realized:

• As far as Dutch is concerned, knows the general vocabulary, specific (business) economic vocabulary and grammar and uses all this accurately in written and oral communication.
  • Uses the correct grammatical structures in exercises and translations (written communication).
  • acquires frequent general and business vocabulary.

The position of the course in the framework of the learning objectives of the programme can be found under the section “Objectives” of the “Bachelor of Business Administration (Brussels)”.
