Here's what Edinburgh Napier University says about its Intercultural Business Communication and Tourism Management course.
Crafting connections across cultures
Being able to communicate effectively and appropriately with people from diverse cultural backgrounds is a vital skill in an increasingly interconnected world, particularly in the area of Tourism.
Our innovative Intercultural Business Communication and Tourism Management degree is unique in the country and offers you the opportunity to develop a desirable skillset applied to a specific sector. You will gain a deep understanding of culture and its role in business communications and interactions, from team meetings, to negotiations, to welcoming visitors, to marketing campaigns. Intercultural Business Communication combines the study of ‘cultures’ (national, regional, local, ethnic, religious, gender, organisational, vocational) and different forms of communication with the development of your own intercultural skills, including self-awareness, openness, curiosity, adaptability, and respect for others. You will apply this understanding of culture and intercultural communication to different areas of Tourism Management, including visitor attraction management, tourism impacts and sustainable development, and international tourism policy and planning.

Students are all great and easy to talk to. I like the various groups they offer

My studies are covered which is great, I wouldn't be here without it. Of course it's hard to travel in each day but it's cheaper than living closer to uni.

Feedback on work is always respectful to me even when saying what I haven't done right or need to work on. They always provide helpful insights such as going over assignments briefs with us

I like the different levels of the libraries/quiet spaces. Toilets are always extremely clean. I don't live in uni accommodation so have nothing to say on that

The course works well. The modules are very helpful at getting an overview and the timing of lectures each week don't feel like they're rushing through or going to slow. Tutorials are helpful when people decide to talk
