Master’s Degree 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 culture features in communication.

The LAGIC programme offers courses on several focus areas, including:

1. The dynamics of language and social interaction in multicultural and multilingual settings

2. The impact of globalization, migration and multilingualism on societies and organizations

3. Communication in online and mediated environments

4. Language and communication education

5. Discourse studies

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.
