Welcome to our Basics of Intercultural Communication class. We're very happy you decided to sign up for our course!

What does culture actually mean? How are cultures different? How do people in different cultures act and communicate? What are the challenges of intercultural communication, particularly when working in international teams? How can we deal with these challenges? These questions are at the heart of this workshop-style course.

The class can either be taken:

  • For a grade (2 ECTS points, 3 SWS) in the "Studium generale" program, or
  • To fulfill MODULE 2 of our “Studium International” Certificate

Das Buddy-Programm bringt Studierende aus höheren Semestern
und internationale Erstis in Kontakt.
