Kuvaus

The Master’s Programme in Language, Globalization and Intercultural Communication (LAGIC) is a two-year interdisciplinary course focusing on contemporary issues in applied language studies and intercultural communication in a globalizing world. The programme looks at language and communication related questions such as multilingualism, discourse and power, media, mobility and migration, as well as the cultural implications of the ongoing changes in how people from differing cultural backgrounds interact with one another. In addition to theoretical depth, there is a strong practical aspect in the programme, providing communication competencies required in the multicultural, networked world. The programme prepares students for careers involving significant intercultural contacts in companies, public organizations, and non-governmental organizations. The students will be also qualified for research-intensive employment; the MA degree qualifies students for enrolment in doctoral studies.
