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.
