Intercultural Management and Communication

ATTENTION: This study program can no longer be chosen. For the wintersemester 2018/19, it has been substituted by the program International Business with its three specializations Intercultural Management, Responsible Business and Marketing.

A weekend concert in London, a backpacking trip with friends through France and Spain, a school exchange in the United States, three months voluntary work in India, a language course in Colombia, no wonder it seems as if I get around a bit.

Even if I wasn't a great world explorer before, one thing is crystal clear to me. The faster globalization takes over, the more important local cultures become and the more they will be networked. This may sound unusual to some but it also applies to companies and organizations. That's why I'm interested in a degree course that considers this view in terms of management theory, because tomorrow, international companies will simply be different.

To fully appreciate these changing circumstances, Karlshochschule expanded their Intercultural Management and Communication degree course of classical economic theory modules, to include events, cultural theory, corporate culture, international partnerships and intercultural competence.

As well as that, I can actually put my intercultural skills in international company projects to the test and refine them during my semester abroad and internship. At the end of my studies I will be able mediate between different cultures to generate worthwhile synergies. And that's because I haven't just been learning a new language at Karlshochschule, I have understood how to communicate in a variety of international and intercultural contexts.
