倫敦大學伯貝克學院

Our MA Intercultural Communication for Business and Professions offers you an opportunity to raise your cross-cultural awareness and enhance your intercultural communicative competence in international business settings, to reflect on your own culture and language use, and to develop the professional and business communication skills necessary to advance your career in the international business world.

It focuses on intercultural communication skills, including written, oral and interpersonal skills, and is specially designed for:

language and communication graduates who are looking to develop a career in international organisations or the business sector
business graduates who would like to improve their professional and business communication skills to enhance their employability
professionals working in fields such communication, public relations, human resources, management and business consulting who want to expand their global perspective and increase effectiveness
intercultural trainers, coaches and consultants interested in enhancing their existing knowledge and experience.

The programme benefits from a combination of knowledge-based and skills-oriented training, world-class experts in intercultural communication, Birkbeck's flexible and student-friendly support, and London's position as an international multicultural and multilingual city.

The programme is also unique in offering you a choice between two dissertation pathways: an empirical research investigation of an aspect of language teaching and learning or an independent library-based project on a relevant topic of your choice.
