Chiara Guddemi
During my degree, I particularly enjoyed the variety of modules I could choose from each year, allowing me to tailor my pathway by selecting subjects I was genuinely passionate about. The program’s strong research focus and hands-on approach across both compulsory and optional modules enhanced my learning experience. This personalised approach enabled me to engage in cutting-edge projects that aligned with my interests, especially during my final year dissertation, where I worked closely with a research group to explore treatment options for vasomotor symptoms in menopausal women. The supportive academic staff and the close-knit community within the program provided a welcoming environment, guiding and encouraging me throughout all four years of my degree.

Dongfang Liu
First, the understanding and communication of intercultural communication. In the course, I can learn a lot of similarities and differences from different countries and cultures, as well as professional intercultural theories and case knowledge, which is what I am very interested in. Second, the exploration of the new direction and the field of language. My first degree has nothing to do with language, so I found its charm and diversity only after I came into contact with linguistics. Third, the combination of culture and business is vividly reflected in the common curriculum of business schools. Hofstede’s theory, for example, has been used in several fields of research. The curriculum of the business school is more open to international vision and thinking.
