This series of courses aim at enhancing students’ knowledge and skills on intercultural competence in working life and other professional settings.
Internationalisation and globalisation bring along increased demand for a special set of professional skills.
In addition to a command of foreign languages, working communities acutely need expertise understood as the ability to perceive national, linguistic, political, ethnic and religious diversity as they manifest themselves in society and working life.
