The master's course is fully taught in English, thus allowing greater collaboration and international mobility. Students can opt for a double diploma, in combination with the Masters in Languages and Intercultural Management at Université d'Artois, France. The master's course has a specific ERASMUS mobility protocol with Hochschule Koblenz, University of Applied Sciences, RheinAhrCampus, Germany, and five specific protocols for PhDs at the Universities of Vigo, Santiago de Compostela and Salamanca, in Spain.

The course offers internships with Incubitz Business Consulting & Entrepreneurship, ACM High Commissioner for Migrations, National Association of Women Entrepreneurs, Vida Económica Publishing Group, EDUCOACH Education and Social Innovation, Sinerconsult Ltd, the London Eligent Club Ltd, and several other European partners.

The target audience is made up of graduates from all P.PORTO schools, as well as professionals from the fields of heritage, arts, communication sciences, social sciences and the humanities, economics, planning, languages, literatures, marketing, management, international trade, local and central administration institutions, public and international relations, tourism, hotel management; publishers and booksellers; translators and interpreters; project managers; socio-cultural mediators; NGO staff; teachers, coaches and mentors.

The program puts forward an innovative approach to the Humanities, in tune with the corporate job market, based on an interdisciplinary approach and the application of new technologies. Graduates will be able to understand, use and monetize methodologies of context analysis and measurement of cultural variables in a business environment. The MA will train professionals capable of autonomous, efficient and integrated performance in intercultural contexts, able to incorporate initiatives for the understanding between cultures into business practices.

In line with a policy of self-employment, the MA in Intercultural Studies for Business views the knowledge of culture as a profitable field, indispensable to any company, both as a tool and as an agent in business and economic growth. The MA pays special attention to postcolonial cultures and to the current flows of business and decision making centers to China, the Maghreb, the Middle East, Hispano-America, and the Commonwealth, among many others. This MA articulates intercultural studies with economics, communication, politics, history, management, and media arts, to create a professional profile with growing demand in business, publishing, communication, cultural management and political and administrative organizations, in different fields and institutions, within the global context.

Although English is the working language of the course, the linguistic component is NOT under assessment (except in Arabic/Chinese (Mandarin) Language and Culture). French, Spanish and German will be used in the respective UCs, with a level of intensity and proficiency to be negotiated with the group.
