Broadening horizon(s). Building bridges. Grow personally. - with the Intercultural Competence Certificate.

Intercultural competence is more important than ever in our globally networked world, which is more international than ever before. In intercultural encounters - whether in a professional or private context - it helps to build bridges between people and cultures, to perceive cultural differences and to develop empathy for the other person. Only those who have their own cultural "glasses" in front of them and are open to different perspectives can respect the behavior of people from other cultures and not only tolerate differences, but experience them as enrichment. This makes intercultural competence one of the most important soft skills of the 21st century!

With our certificate, you can continue your education in the field of intercultural competence during your studies at HFT Stuttgart. The certificate consists of theoretical content and practical elements. These are divided into four modules: Intercultural Reflection, Language Competence, Intercultural Engagement and Experience Abroad. Corresponding certificates are required for all modules.
