International Communication Major

Fostering communication techniques, media literacy and global literacy so you can understand the international community

As the common world language, English is becoming increasingly important in our mature and globalised contemporary society. English is used more and more not only in so-called English-language countries like England, the USA or Australia, but also in regions where English is not the original language. Yet we are nearing the end of the era where it was enough to simply be able to speak English. The objective of the International Communication Major is to provide the necessary communication tools for surviving in the international community.
