Intercultural Communication MA

UCL (University College London)

This MA explores intercultural communication through a range of interdisciplinary perspectives. The understanding and skills you gain will equip you to investigate and apply new ways in questions around language, culture and diversity, helping students to overcome barriers to understanding while also preparing them for research, policy and practice in applied language studies, education and the workplace in a superdiverse and communicatively complex world. This course will provide you with interdisciplinary insights into intercultural communication, drawing upon applied linguistics, anthropological, sociological, philosophical, digital, language educational and cultural studies perspectives. It will also develop your capacity to analyse, evaluate and synthesise sociocultural and linguistic data, primary and secondary sources, as well as helping you to design research. This course is suitable for anyone with a keen interest in issues of communication across languages and cultures. In addition to language educators and communications professionals, it is also directed at graduates in languages, linguistics, education and all those with an interest in critical understandings of language, culture and identity. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.
