Bjarne Ør­snes

Present­a­tion
I am an Associate Professor emeritus at the Department of Management, Society and Communication.

I am a researcher working and teaching on German language, society and culture and intercultural communication. My research aims to facilitate and improve professional communication in German and with Germans by improving our understanding of Germany and the Germans. My teaching aims to increase the students‘ knowledge of German and of Germany so that they can develop and monitor Danish companies and organizations‘ collaboration with Germany.'

External teaching activity
I have taught several PhD-courses in linguistics in Denmark and Sweden.
