Introduction to the programme
In a global society we meet people from different cultures and social backgrounds in a variety of contexts, challenging the ways we communicate with one another. Communication is for example crucial when encountering different nationals in a business meeting or when integrating migrants in the local community.
During your studies in Communication Studies + Cultural Encounters, you will gain insights into effective and engaging communication to relevant target groups, as well as in the sharing of knowledge to relevant actors. You will engage with strategic communication in an international or/and intercultural context, both for internal or external communication purposes. You will gain knowledge on the concept of culture and analytical tools that allow you to understand and work with culture in theory and practice, working with problems that involve multicultural or multilingual contexts.
The programme provides a broad basis to engage with the planning and development of communication material and communicative processes for a variety of purposes: cross-national and cross-cultural collaborations, newsmaking and the dissemination of culture, as well as for the development of organisations and employees.
