Our Masters in Intercultural Communication for Business and the Professions provides you with a wide range of in-depth knowledge and skills relating to intercultural communication. Its distinctive feature is that it enables you to focus on aspects of intercultural communication that are relevant to people working either in business (in such areas such as marketing, management or human resources) or in other professions (such as NGOs, education or diplomacy).

The masters programme concludes with an empirical piece of research, which will allow you to not only put your knowledge to practice, but further hone your practical skills in carrying out systematic research, which translated into transferable skills frequently required in multiple industries, such as Marketing, Public Relations & Media, Consulting, Management/HR as well as Education. This final stage of the programme also equips you with skills crucial for a career in academia, i.e. seeking to undertake a PhD.
