  • A solid preparation in intercultural communication and processes;
  • In-depth knowledge of the cultures of the studied languages and the domain of international relations.

Students have to take two foreign languages, with English as a mandatory first language and a second language chosen from French, Spanish, or German. In the Emerging Languages and Multicultural Skills curriculum, students add a third language—Arabic, Chinese, or Russian. Language teaching is workshop-based and delivered in classes of no more than 25 students, ensuring a participative, innovative, and effective learning experience.

While refining mediation skills, it also offers a solid preparation for pursuing advanced studies in translation or interpreting at the master’s level.

  2. Emerging Languages and Multicultural Competencies:
    Focused on the demands of a globalized world, this curriculum emphasizes linguistic competence in emerging languages (Arabic, Chinese, and Russian) and the understanding of contemporary cultural anthropology. It provides mediators with tools to move in multicultural contexts effectively.

  3. Linguistic Mediation for Marketing and Business:
    Centered on the corporate world, this curriculum provides expertise in economics, marketing, effective communication techniques, and public speaking. Insights into workplace psychology prepare graduates to excel in professional relationships and communication in today’s business world.
