This programme offers a unique combination of intercultural (or cross-cultural) studies with the study of language in context (including options for translation). Students develop a broad understanding of the nature of contemporary relations between different cultural groups and study the growth and spread of English as a global language, particularly in business contexts. As result, you will develop the cultural sensitivity, together with the high-level communicative skills and intercultural competence, needed for use in international professional settings or in further study of the field.
There are two pathways, a Language in Practice Pathway, and a Translation Pathway.
