Intercultural & Professional Competences

At the International Business School we offer personal and intercultural development courses that prepare you for a future career in an international working environment. This module is an introduction to intercultural competency and professional development. The aim is to recognise and understand your own (cultural) background and how this has influenced your perception of the world.

In the course Data-Informed Decisions (DID) you will build skills to think critically, ask the right questions, and use data to guide decisions in an international business setting. You’ll get hands-on experience with Excel, learning how to collect, analyze, and visualize data in ways that make sense. These practical skills will help you turn numbers into insights that support strong business strategies. By working on real-world projects, you’ll discover how to transform data into solutions that businesses can use to succeed.

Additionally, you will receive training in order to get ready for your upcoming year abroad, i.e. get ready to take the next step in your professional career. Intercultural competence and career development are key in this phase. You will learn how to recognise and understand your own (cultural) background and how this has influenced your perception of the world.
