Course Overview

There is much discussion today of the need to be a good communicator and this means the ability to be able to operate in an increasingly globalized environment. In organizations, people increasingly need to work with others from different cultural backgrounds and be able to manage the differing expectations, assumptions, and identity needs that inevitably are now part of the social fabric of the workplace. This is equally true today in international corporations, educational contexts (classrooms, universities), the health services (hospitals), and all services that work with an increasingly culturally diverse public such as the police and the legal profession, NGOs, the armed forces in peacekeeping roles, immigration services and Not for Profit Organisations operating across the world. An enhanced understanding of intercultural communication provides the tools to navigate this complex terrain. By undertaking this degree, you will develop your expertise in, and your ability to: analyze intercultural interaction; research intercultural communication in a range of social settings and develop your ability to both practice and advise on successful intercultural communication in specific professional practice contexts.
