In the 21st century an increasingly globalized environment requires intercultural competence to build successful synergies and strategies for the global workplace.
In depth knowledge in intercultural competence will accelerate one's career by providing one with the key skills and relevant experience necessary for achieving one's goals. Experts in intercultural competence are much in demand across all industries. The job market is full of opportunities for well-trained academics with leadership potential and formal training in intercultural competence.
At Salzburg College state-of-the-art research and solution finding through the Intercultural Center are combined with compact academic programs tailored to educate future intercultural experts.
