The Department provides specialization in a dynamic interdisplinary field of knowledge emerging from the restructuring of humanities and mostly of language and cultural studies within the contemporary globalized context of creation, production and communication of knowledge and information. The Department responds to the challenges which arise in the contemporary field of intercultural and transnational communication and intercultural relationships. These challenges concern the internal cohesion and composition of Western societies, transnational working and production environments as well as the growing need for multilevel communication with geographical regions, linguistic\u00a0\u00a0and cultural contexts outside the western world. In the current international context, language and intercultural education in Greece are of high priority based on the strategic geopolitical planning of the country and its future prospects. Education in languages of the Middle East and Far East is more urgent nowadays than ever.<\/p>\n

The Department of Language and Intercultural Studies comes to address this need by providing a programme of studies which promotes applied language studies and combines language and cultural education and transnational studies with an in-depth focus on issues of comparative history and literature,\u00a0\u00a0intercultural communication, critical theory, studies of diversity, theories of globalization and global systems, intercultural education and work in transnational environments.\u00a0The Department combines\u00a0\u00a0contemporary scientific subjects with excellent prospects in research and the labor market for its graduates. The demand for professionals who have knowledge of languages \u200b\u200band cultures, especially of the Middle and Far East, is expected to be high and constant in fields such as tourism, trade, interpretation, transnational contacts, research, scientific cooperation, etc. The Department of Language & Intercultural Studies will create multiple synergies by utilizing the existing infrastructure of the Departments of the School of Humanities & Social Sciences of the University of Thessaly, especially the laboratories concerned with interculturalism and pedagogical applications of language education.<\/p>\n
