Meet Lena

My name is Lena Hönes, I am 20 years old and a first semester IB student at ESB. After my Abitur in 2012 I spent 10 month in Central and South America: I worked as a teacher for pre-school pupils in Costa Rica and helped on a touristic farm in Chile. I enjoyed this trip very much and collected tons of good memories, new experiences and even learned a new language.



Studying at ESB means learning in small groups with professors who actually care about each student. You are not only a number or one person in an overcrowded lecture hall.

The atmosphere is highly multicultural because of the international students in the course. Even among Germans we try to speak only English to give everybody the chance to understand and be part of the conversation.
I also like the idea of learning or deepen another language besides English. This year we could choose between German (international students), Spanish, French and Chinese. Even more language courses are offered by the language centre.
The lectures cover a wide spectrum of topics in the field of business and also help in understanding general economy. Besides the lectures there are many group works and presentations to be done.
