Intercultural Competence

Overview

Information regarding COVID-19 pandemic: This seminar is highly interactive and requires the attendance of at least 25 students. Due to the interactive character of the seminar, a digital offer is not practicable. Depending on the number of registered students and the further evolution of the corona pandemic, the seminar will either be postponed to the end of the summer semester, or will only be offered during the upcoming winter semester. A decision will be taken once the registration period is over. Since intercultural competence is one of the core courses of the bachelor IBS, the seminar will for sure be held during the winter semester. Thank you for your understanding.
