We encounter cultural differences every day both in our private and professional lives. Such differences are related to a society or a language area, but also to professions, ethnicities, religions, social groups, generations and/or organisations. As a student of Intercultural Studies, you will acquire insights into different theoretical approaches to interculturality in the transnational world and work with the interrelationships of local, national, regional, and transnational identities. Throughout the programme, the focus is on comprehending how cultural expressions and interactions are anchored in historical, social and language contexts while also evolving in relation to the surrounding world.
The programme develops your abilities to analyse, critically reflect upon and facilitate interculturality. This includes the capacity to draw on cultural differences as resources. These abilities enable you to navigate and act within intercultural, internationalised landscapes whether it is in the private or public sector, in international organisations or in NGOs. This can enhance your ability to communicate with the international partners of your organisation, identify opportunities for development and challenges, and initiate projects while opening new paths.
An Interdisciplinary programme
The programme in Intercultural Studies draws on concepts and methods from various disciplines within the humanities (i.e. history, literature, media, language) and the social sciences (i.e. intercultural approaches to organizational studies, to innovation) as a way to provide you with the competences needed to analyse various intercultural settings in their historical and social contexts. The intercultural nature of the programme also improves your language skills. International English is the shared language of the degree programme and is employed in the teaching of the common courses that all students in Intercultural Studies follow. The language specific tracks are conducted in their respective language, either English, French, German, or Spanish. In this way, you train your skills to communicate in the respective language and to use it as a working language. The courses comprise short lectures, interactive seminars, group work as well as instructor and peer feedback. You will also work in a problem and practice-oriented way based on empirical cases and in collaboration with external partners. Hence, the size of classes as well as the working methods vary a great deal.
*If you wish to pursue a career in teaching, for example in upper-secondary school in Denmark, you should choose line B in one of the other Master’s degree programmes in languages which include a Master’s supplementary subject.
