European Business & Intercultural Communication
Communicating strategically in a foreign language requires more than vocabulary
You need to navigate professional cultures, institutional dynamics, and intercultural nuances and apply them strategically so your message is clear, credible, and persuasive.

This programme is not a traditional business language course.
It is designed for policy advisors, business professionals, and international teams operating in multilingual European contexts.
