M.A.I.S. Intercultural Leadership

9 months on location, weekends only

Today’s global world is in a constant process of change. Technology is developing at such a fast pace and existing codes and values are constantly and significantly transforming. All, including governments, NGOs, global companies and the international media themselves are struggling to keep up with the latest innovations. An in-depth understanding of intercultural competence is vital for anyone seeking to take on a leadership role in the global workplace. The study of intercultural competence in leadership equips our graduates with the skill-set necessary for understanding and handling these global developments in political, economic and cultural affairs.

 

How do others view one’s own culture, and how can one influence this? How does intercultural communication connect to power? What vital roles do culture and intercultural competence play in the current and future global business market?

 

The M.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies (M.A.I.S.) with special emphasis on Intercultural Leadership is a 9-month program that provides participants with the opportunity to explore and debate these issues with leading academic and professional experts in the field. A wide range of specialty modules guarantee a unique interdisciplinary approach to intercultural leadership.

 

The M.A.I.S. Intercultural Leadership program is designed for participants wanting to develop a thorough understanding of the international dimension of leadership while simultaneously working on their proficiency and expertise regarding cultural intelligence and intercultural competence. The program is particularly attractive for professionals wanting to focus on the international and intercultural aspects of leadership as well as for recent graduates of bachelor programs wanting to pursue a career in an intercultural/international field.
