The module also previews the three key transferable skill areas covered in this course: leadership, project management, and cross-cultural communication. These core areas were selected not only for their individual importance, but also because they reinforce one another and are critical to success in graduate school and beyond.

In today’s interconnected world, the ability to communicate effectively across cultural differences is an essential skill for both academic and professional success. This module explores foundational concepts of culture and cross-cultural competency, introducing key metaphors that help us understand culture’s visible and invisible dimensions.
