Intercultural and Ethical Decision-making (5 cr)

Evaluation scale

H-5

Intro

In this course, students acquire the necessary knowledge to understand intercultural
competencies and current developments in the fields of diversity and ethics. Students will
understand how to systematically plan and implement learning processes for the development of
competences important in these areas. First, important terms are clarified and differentiated from
each other, and cultural aspects are explained from different perspectives. In addition, students
learn that cultural issues are relevant at different levels, for example, within a state, company, or
other group. In this context, students also recognize the connection between ethics and culture
with different interdependencies. On the basis of this knowledge, students are then familiarized
with the different possibilities and potentials of intercultural and ethical learning and working.
Practical cases are used to illustrate the importance of the relationships learned for today's work
context in many companies. The students then work on a case study in which the acquired
knowledge is systematically applied.
