This course meets the demand for increased knowledge in intercultural communication.

Changing social conditions and circumstances need:

• New ways of dealing with people
• Fresh ways of interacting and communicating with people of other cultures

Our cross-cultural communication master's covers how cultures and human behaviour reflexively interconnect.

We must improve our knowledge and understanding of the processes and issues involved in cross-cultural communication. We must discover how we can apply such knowledge in everyday experiences.

In practice, we need to develop our knowledge of why and how communication 'works' and how and why it sometimes does not 'work'.

The course answers questions including:

• How cultural background impacts upon successful communication
• How language, thought, and behaviour are interrelated
