INTERCULTURAL MANAGEMENT

Interdisciplinary master program, with courses fully taught in English, accredited by ARACIS in the field of Sociology.

The master program is organized yearly since 2005.

The MA in Intercultural Management is an interdisciplinary programme offered by the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Bucharest, through the UNESCO Chair in Interculturality, Good Governance and Sustainable Development. The programme benefits from the contribution of an international network of scholars and partner institutions, including the University of Geneva (Switzerland), University of Siegen (Germany), University of Regensburg (Germany), Université Bourgogne Europe (France), KEDGE Business School (France), the University of Messina (Italy), the Südosteuropa-Gesellschaft (Germany), as well as faculty members from the University of Bucharest and the Bucharest University of Economic Studies (ASE).

Graduates of the programme are excellently prepared to pursue careers in middle- and top-management positions within international institutions and companies. They are particularly suited for professional paths in international organizations, public and non-governmental institutions, cultural organizations, diplomacy, and project management in the fields of arts, culture, and media, where leadership and management skills must be applied in multicultural environments. Thanks to its flexible and interdisciplinary curriculum, graduates can also apply their intercultural management competencies in a wide range of professional sectors responding to the rapidly evolving demands of the global labour market.

Since its establishment, one of the core missions of the UNESCO Chair in Interculturality, Good Governance and Sustainable Development has been to strengthen academic cooperation across Europe and support the transfer of knowledge and expertise. The active involvement of Swiss, German, French, Italian, and Romanian scholars contributes to a rich international academic environment.

Students enrolled in the Intercultural Management MA also benefit from opportunities for international academic mobility and study experiences in partner universities and higher education institutions across Europe, further strengthening their intercultural competences and professional perspectives.
