The Department of Business English trains international trade experts, business interpreters, and e-commerce operation management specialists with international trade skills and business manners based on English proficiency.
The department has established a systematic curriculum, passionate faculty, and various student support programs. We operate multiple programs for students to enjoy university life, such as field trips, domestic and global internships, international language programs, special lectures in specialized fields, employment special lectures, clubs, and departmental MT.
In addition, the bachelor's degree major enhancement course, which aims to deepen the job skills of bachelor's graduates and obtain a 4 year bachelor's degree, is available at night.
