My time at the University helped me big time in finding out my career path and what I wanted to do.
My field of interest became clearer and I got more confident with my English.
Each member of the teaching team is so willing to share their knowledge with us and any questions are very welcome to ask.
The first semester’s amazing study experience enhanced my awareness of my major, and I not only discovered the love of learning but also got to know brilliant teachers and made lots of friends.
Understand how communication, language and culture shape interactions in diverse societies and global contexts.
This interdisciplinary master's course explores the cultural complexities and diversity of contemporary societies through a range of conceptual, disciplinary and professional perspectives.

Drawing on research-led teaching, you will engage with contemporary debates in intercultural communication while developing critical approaches to understanding cultural difference, diversity and social interaction.
The course offers a broad range of study options covering areas such as migration, memory, media, translation, multilingualism, intercultural relations, and professional communication. This breadth allows you to tailor your studies to your interests and career aspirations.
