Postgraduate taught degree (MSc)
Our MSc Intercultural Communication for Business and the Professions degree provides in-depth training in intercultural communication, with a focus on its relevance to people working in business or in other professions (e.g. education, medicine, PR).
Undergraduate degree (BA Language, Culture and Communication)
The BA programme is designed to provide students with a thorough grounding in Language, Culture and Communication, introducing them to relevant linguistic and cultural features and enabling them to explore the interconnections between these.
Students will be trained in analytical, research and communication skills and expected to apply these in a range of authentic situations. They will also be provided with the opportunity to learn a foreign language and to reflect on this, and may also choose to explore relevant topics within the broader field of social sciences.
