Explore the relationship between culture and communication with our Cross-Cultural Communication MA programme.

You will be taught and supported by experts in intercultural communication. Our teaching staff has years of professional and research experience. They have lived, worked, studied and conducted research all around the world

Our Cross-Cultural Communication Master's programme addresses questions such as:

  • What is the role of intercultural communication in the global workplace?
  • What is the importance of global citizenship?
  • How can we minimise misunderstanding in intercultural communication?
  • How can we teach, develop and assess intercultural competence?
  • What is the role of multilingualism in intercultural communication?

We have an international student cohort, with up to 35 countries represented. This means you'll work regularly with peers from a wide range of national, language and professional backgrounds. This will help you to develop your interpersonal and intercultural skills. Former students identify this as one of the main strengths of the course.
