Transcultural Humanities: Media, Texts, Languages in a Globalized World

Accreditation: Exceptional approval has been granted.

The Transcultural Humanities challenge us to think critically about our positions and perspectives in a constantly changing, ever-enlarging global society, even as they reach back through centuries and millennia to draw on the very foundations that define our humanity. Such cultural foundations include languages, various art forms (literary, musical, pictorial, sculptural etc.) as well as media old and new.

The programme offers a broad, interdisciplinary repertoire of qualifications and competencies necessary for a successful business career in our contemporary globalized business world. Among these are communication and cooperation competencies, foreign language skills in at least two languages apart from the mother tongue, knowledge organisation and research skills, abilities in diverse empirical methods, self-organisation as well as the ability to work in a team. These key skills and capabilities open career possibilities in e.g. political foundations, art/cultural management, in marketing and human resource departments of multinational businesses or, of course, the classical 'humanities' careers in journalism, media and education.
