Program details
Overview
With six semesters of full-time studies offered mainly in English, graduates are awarded a bachelor’s degree. Arabic, Chinese, Korean and Japanese as well as French, German and other languages are taught in this programme not only as a means of communication but also as bearers of certain labels and patterns of behaviour rooted in specific cultures, which is extremely important when establishing international contacts.The new programme offers an international qualification that is equally important for European (Western) and Asian students. It is oriented towards a mutual understanding, based on analogies, of Eastern and Western civilisations. The programme does not simply provide information about other cultures; it also helps students choose the right way to communicate with representatives of other cultures by explaining religiously, socially and mentally important nuances in the context of each culture that non-specialists may miss. The aim of the study programme is to provide an opportunity to obtain a bachelor's degree in humanities with a focus on East-West intercultural studies, preparing specialists who have a comprehensive understanding of global processes involving civilizations, including their interaction and are competitive in both local and international labour market.
