Eurocampus is a one semester intensive programme (September - December) specializing in intercultural communication. It is jointly organized with a network of nine European Universities (EMICC* network).

During this intensive program students will learn about intercultural communication theories, will look at intercultural communication from the perspective of different academic disciplines, and will have a chance to acquire advanced intercultural competencies and skills to use in professional as well as social life. Eurocampus offers a total of 30 ECTS credits. The curriculum includes courses on various topics relating to intercultural communication and other intercultural issues, such as management, training, and linguistic perspectives.
