Intercultural Studies at Danube University Krems - We live in a time of global flows of people, goods, services, and ideas. The emerging academic field of Intercultural Studies reflects the growing demand for skills and expertise in navigating an increasingly interconnected world and offers a framework for orientating oneself in the midst of these ongoing processes of change.
Since 2003, the Intercultural Studies Program at Danube University Krems has been offering seminars abroad to provide a real-world setting within which to experience intercultural challenges and to apply intercultural knowledge and skills. This seminar, taught in China by Chinese experts, gives participants the opportunity of immersing themselves in a foreign culture within the structured environment of a guided experience.
