BA (Hons) INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION WITH BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
BA (HONS) INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION WITH BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
Ever wondered how successful communication transcends cultural and linguistic barriers? Ever considered how global companies manage their diverse workforce?
On this course you’ll develop your understanding of global business and discover the essentials of business, marketing and intercultural communication, discovering how important global communication and intercultural awareness are today for individuals and businesses.
You’ll challenge yourself and the cultural stereotypes that create barriers to successful communication. You’ll develop your understanding of how global businesses manage workforces with widely differing languages, values, and business practices. You’ll then have the chance to put your skills to the test by spending an optional semester abroad.
You’ll be taught alongside UK, EU and international students, enhancing your linguistic and intercultural communication skills. You’ll also be able to start, or improve your fluency in another language.
You’ll graduate ready to work in a range of fields, or to deepen your learning with further study.
About
Intercultural awareness is perhaps more crucial now than ever. For example, how will we respond to the mass migration of refugees fleeing Syria, or global relations after Brexit? How can we tackle the rise of open racism or the possible effects of isolationism on our international reputation?
On this degree you’ll work with experts in the field of intercultural communication to explore key global challenges. You’ll consider how we can break down barriers to successful communication within business, communities, education and politics.
You’ll explore the theory and practice of business management, and develop keen intercultural awareness that is crucial in today’s global communication networks. You’ll also be continuously engaging with the world outside of the university. You’ll work with local organisations to develop real-world skills and hone the qualities needed to succeed in multinational corporations, SMEs, NGOs or the charity sector.
