Intercultural Communication in Education and the Workplace at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin (UMCS) is a two-year, full-time Master's programme with a general academic profile, taught in English at the Faculty of Philology. It is designed both for Polish students who want to study in English in an international environment and for foreign students looking for an English-taught MA in Poland.
The curriculum is built around four blocks: cultural studies, relations between language and culture, practical learning of a foreign language, and preparation for writing a Master's thesis. Along the way you study cultural anthropology, the dynamics of cultural phenomena, multilingualism and the adaptation difficulties people face in a multicultural environment.
The programme looks at intercultural communication in schools and at work. You study national and ethnic minorities, non-verbal communication in an intercultural context and multicultural problems in an era of global economic and educational migration, and you learn to research multicultural and multilingual settings.
