You take taught modules in language and communication (60 credits) from a selection that may include: language and cross-cultural communication; English in the world; sociolinguistics; the social psychology of communication; culture and intercultural communication in English language communication. You also take 60 credits of modules from the management specialism, which typically include: principles of marketing; managerial economics and organisational architecture; the sociology and history of technology; information systems management; analysis of company accounts; exploring E-Business; performance and decision management; management and new media.
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.
