Professional Communication (Regular)

Are you looking for a one-semester course where you can improve your professional communication skills in English while interacting with students from TUBAF and beyond?  The module “Professional Communication “, which is open to all TUBAF students, develops these skills through a combination of in-class work and a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) project, as described by a TED-Talk by one of our partners: A new approach to collaborative learning | Hubertus Weyer | TEDxUniversity of Lodz . The Professional Communication COIL integrates forward-focused learning concepts while developing future skills, digital literacy, cultural intelligence, tolerating ambiguity, self-reflective skills, leadership and English as a lingua franca. In the COIL you will be part of an interdisciplinary and international group of students studying in Poland and Germany to create and collaborate on a project that integrates multiple fields of study while using the English language to improve your professional communication.

Registration is open and online in OPAL.
