Our world has turned into a global village. Continents have become neighbourhoods and the interconnectedness and interdependency between nations is ever increasing. In this globalized world the art of constructing ‘bridges of understanding’ between cultures, governments, organizations and individuals has become an indispensable quality for professionals in communication and journalism.
Nowadays governments, companies, NGO’s and international organizations are looking for skilled experts in communication and journalism who combine state-of-the-art professional knowledge with highly sophisticated intercultural skills and a keen understanding of global societal issues and challenges.
