Understand the skills, behaviours and attitudes required to work effectively with people from different cultural backgrounds, and develop practical strategies to interpret difference and respond appropriately in culturally diverse situations. Our increasingly globalised workplaces need graduates with awareness, understanding, sensitivity to, and an ability to deal with cultural diversity. The knowledge and skills developed in this unit are particularly valuable for a range of international exchange students: those planning an outbound program and those already inbound, for shorter programs or full degrees at QUT. Students with an interest in intercultural communication and those who are learning or have learned a second language will also benefit from this unit.
