First Module: Prof. K-K Meyer-Ross
Effective skills and behaviors at work – interpersonal skills within an international context in theory and practice
This module aims to strengthen each student’s inter-cultural communication skills and so will focus on their interpersonal skills and, if appropriate, strategic thinking. Students will learn about adaptability and flexibility at work and strengthen their own emotional intelligence, as well as learn how to interact professionally, lead a team, communicate within an international team context and apply work ethics.
Teaching Method
In this module ppt-lectures will introduce the topics and students are expected to strive to deepen and strengthen their knowledge through group-work. Videos and handouts help give a wider understanding and role-play simulations are a key part of this module. For a final project, students will prepare and defend a scientific poster.
