English for Specific Purposes and Interculturality

Programme overview

Do you have a passion for languages and world cultures? Are you looking to enhance your skills in professional English for business and law? Do you see intercultural communication as the key to unlocking opportunities in global professional environments?

If these questions resonate with you, we invite you to consider the Master’s programme “English for Specific Purposes and Interculturality”. Immerse yourself in studies where business and legal English are enriched by the study of Western and Eastern cultures, and where the concept of professional culture is inseparable from a deep understanding and respect for cultural diversity. Gain the expertise to communicate effectively in English at a high level across diverse professional contexts, build connections between different worldviews, and successfully advance your career in today’s multicultural global environment.

The study programme is designed to train highly qualified specialists in English for Specific Purposes who are able to identify and understand social and cultural features of societal phenomena, analyse and assess them, and, based on this knowledge and skill set, carry out linguistic tasks essential for ensuring smooth intercultural dialogue in English.

The programme comprises two key components: English language studies in two specialised fields (international business and international law) and intercultural studies, which focus on analysing and evaluating the cultural aspects of Western and Eastern societies and their global interactions. The studies provide both the theoretical knowledge necessary for research in these fields and the practical skills needed for organising and facilitating international communication processes in business enterprises and public institutions.
