MA Global Intercultural Communication (Part Time)

University of East AngliaNorwich Research Park, Norwich

Course overview

How do we successfully communicate with people from different cultures or those who don’t share our language? How can global companies effectively manage their diverse workforce? In today's interconnected world, effective communication across cultures and languages is more important than ever.

Our dynamic MA in Global Intercultural Communication is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge to help companies and organisations navigate these challenges. On this two-year part-time programme, you’ll explore how the linguistic forms and patterns within a language influence cultural worldviews, sociocultural norms, and values. You’ll approach linguistic communication as a cultural practice, used to both create and sustain our sense of personal, cultural, and national identities.

Using a variety of different analytic approaches, such as discourse analysis and cross-cultural pragmatics, you’ll explore these issues from different perspectives. You’ll also study digital technologies which increasingly mediate international human communication and constitute one of the key infrastructures for enabling global cultural interchange.
