You’ll challenge yourself and the cultural stereotypes that create barriers to successful communication.

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.
