As a result of globalisation and migration, the world is witnessing an increasingly linguistic and cultural diversity and the skills required to effectively participate in everyday and professional activities increase in their complexity. Although English is often regarded as the ‘global language’, personal and professional cross-cultural encounters require a fundamental understanding of the relationship between language and culture, an awareness of one’s own cultural conditioning and intercultural competencies.

These major are designed to offer you an enriching global perspective and to develop your ability to communicate effectively across cultural borders. Explore and reflect on general questions of language as a system for expressing meaning, language skills and cross-cultural understanding. Extend your studies of leadership, culture and globalisation by studying an additional language and the culture of the countries in which it is spoken, while gaining a better understanding of your own language and cultural conditioning. The Faculty of Society and Design offers studies in Spanish, French, Japanese and Chinese (Mandarin). The knowledge and skills gained in this major can be applied to real-world problems for any personal or professional contexts. They are invaluable as either an independent area of study or a complement to any degree.
