Teaching is by lectures, case-based workshops, interactive seminars, and individual tutorials. Assessment is by course work (examinations, oral presentations and submitted work) and the research portfolio. The research portfolio (60 credits) is different from a conventional dissertation. It consists of a set of research files where you discuss the theoretical background and methodological approaches to cross-cultural communication, and conduct a supervised research project in this area.
