Cross-Cultural Communication MA

Our course enables you to meet the growing need for increased knowledge in cross-cultural communication. You will receive communication-focused training and develop expertise in cross-cultural communication. The course covers understanding how cultures and human behavior reflexively interconnect. Changing social conditions and circumstances require new ways of dealing with people, and fresh ways of interacting and communicating with people of other cultures. There is an urgent need to improve our knowledge and understanding of the processes and issues involved in cross-cultural communication and to discover how such knowledge can be effectively applied in everyday experiences. What this means in practice is that we need to develop our knowledge of why and how communication 'works' and how and why it sometimes does not 'work'.
