MA Global Intercultural Communication (Part Time)

The course runs for two years on a part-time basis. You will take a combination of compulsory and optional modules, to build a solid foundation in the discipline and then specialise in areas that particularly interest you.

In the autumn semester you take two compulsory modules in your first year, Language, Culture and Thought; and New Media and Society, and one compulsory module in your second year, The Power of Discourse. In the spring, you can specialise by selecting one module in your first year and two in your second year from a range that typically includes: Intercultural Communication in Practice; Conflict and Conflict Resolution in Intercultural Communication; Language Issues in a Global Multilingual Context; Politics and Media; Forensic Linguistics and Translation; Intercultural Education and Training; and Multiculturalism.

The final compulsory element is a 60-credit dissertation, which you will write on a subject chosen by you, in consultation with members of academic staff. You will begin work on this at the beginning of the spring semester in your second year for submission in September.
