Course summary

The global era has stimulated transnational cultural flows of people, practices and products, and local cultural complexities that were inconceivable even a generation ago. Nowadays, it is necessary to function effectively in culturally-diverse contexts ranging from organisations and workplaces, to neighbourhoods and cities, and to societies and regions. As a consequence, intercultural awareness and communication skills are an advantage in many areas of employment. Our MA Intercultural Communication master's course brings together a wide range of expertise to explore the cultural complexities and diversity of our current times from a variety of conceptual, disciplinary and professional perspectives. The degree is designed for students who are interested in intercultural matters. Some knowledge of a foreign language is preferable, although not a prerequisite. You can choose from a range of course units covering subjects such as:

  • Migration
  • Memory
  • Media
  • Translation
  • Language contact
  • English as a global language
  • Communicative interaction
  • Intercultural relations
  • Intercultural competence.
It is also possible to study a foreign language, and there is a placement option that will give you the opportunity to work in community organisations.


Entry requirements

We normally expect students to have a First or Upper Second class honours degree or its overseas equivalent in a humanities-based subject area.
