Course content
The global era has stimulated transnational cultural flows of people, practices and products, and local cultural complexities that were inconceivable even a generation ago.
Nowadays, it is necessary to function effectively in culturally-diverse contexts ranging from organisations and workplaces, to neighbourhoods and cities, and to societies and regions.
As a consequence, intercultural awareness and communication skills are an advantage in many areas of employment.
Our MA Intercultural Communication master's course brings together a wide range of expertise to explore the cultural complexities and diversity of our current times from a variety of conceptual, disciplinary and professional perspectives.
The degree is designed for students who are interested in intercultural matters. Some knowledge of a foreign language is preferable, although not a prerequisite.
You can choose from a range of course units covering subjects such as:
- Migration
- Memory
- Media
- Translation
- Language contact
- English as a global language
- Communicative interaction
- Intercultural relations
- Intercultural competence.
It is also possible to study a foreign language, and there is a placement option that will give you the opportunity to work in community organisations.
