Welcome to the page on Business Communication and Intercultural Competence at the HM Business School.
We offer a range of compulsory and optional modules within the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes, designed to hone your professional communication skills in English and your intercultural competence for today’s global business world.
With specially tailored English communication courses in business, entrepreneurship and macroeconomics as part of the Bachelor’s degree programmes, you will gain a deeper understanding of the global and national economies. You will also develop the skills and confidence to communicate effectively and professionally in English on related topics.
Understanding the impact of culture in business contexts is also vital for effective communication, ensuring efficiency and creating synergies with colleagues, customers and business partners, both now and in the future. Our intercultural competence and cross-cultural management modules, taught in English, will take you around the world and give you the edge in understanding different business cultures, so that you can work effectively in an intercultural context, wherever you are. Upon completion of these courses, you will gain an in-depth and critical understanding of widely applied theoretical models and how to apply them appropriately in your day-to-day working life to achieve your professional goals.
