What did you enjoy most about your degree programme?

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.
