The DA  offers postgraduate training which prepares young graduates for the varied challenges of an international career. The Academy equips its students with the academic qualifications, the language training, intercultural competences and management skills which are today the essential and often decisive prerequisites for the successful entry into many international professions and a subsequent interesting career. It is open to graduates of any discipline and of any nationality.

There was a short lecture about the academic programmes of the DA, afterwards a buffet. There was also the opportunity to play the piano, sing and dance!
