Being able to communicate effectively and appropriately with people from diverse cultural backgrounds is a vital skill in an increasingly interconnected world, particularly in the area of Tourism.
Our innovative Intercultural Business Communication and Tourism Management degree is unique in the country and offers you the opportunity to develop a desirable skillset applied to a specific sector. You will gain a deep understanding of culture and its role in business communications and interactions, from team meetings, to negotiations, to welcoming visitors, to marketing campaigns. Intercultural Business Communication combines the study of ‘cultures’ (national, regional, local, ethnic, religious, gender, organisational, vocational) and different forms of communication with the development of your own intercultural skills, including self-awareness, openness, curiosity, adaptability, and respect for others. You will apply this understanding of culture and intercultural communication to different areas of Tourism Management, including visitor attraction management, tourism impacts and sustainable development, and international tourism policy and planning.
Choose a joint degree in Intercultural Business Communication and Tourism Management, and immerse yourself in a balanced curriculum, dedicating equal time to both subjects while learning under the guidance of academic and industry experts.
In your first two years you will gain a solid understanding of core concepts and approaches in both Intercultural Business Communication and Tourism Management, and you will apply these to a wide range of ‘real world’ case studies and scenarios. This will prepare you for year 3, when you will have the opportunity to study abroad or take up a work placement in the UK. Both offer exciting opportunities to apply and enhance your grasp of intercultural business communication and tourism management. You will also acquire intercultural skills by living and studying abroad or working with new colleagues and clients in a relevant sector. These experiences, whether work-based or through study abroad, are highly valued by employers. In your final year, you will specialise in areas of particular interest by undertaking your own research projects, including a dissertation.
