Enhance your understanding of language, culture, and communication - and prepare to make a difference in multicultural workplaces worldwide.
Our Cross-Cultural Communication MA programme helps you explore the relationship between culture and communication.
You will be taught and supported by experts in intercultural communication. Our teaching staff have 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:
- how do languages, cultures and identities affect communication?
- 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 a diverse cohort of students from a range of backgrounds, including home and international students. 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.
You can choose to study Cross-Cultural Communication on its own, or alongside one of six specialist pathways:
- Cross-Cultural Communication and International Marketing MA
- Cross-Cultural Communication and International Management MA
- Cross-Cultural Communication and Media Studies MA
