Through her PhD project, Leonor aims to help the university reach its goals with regard to international education, as well as contribute to scientific understanding of intercultural competence and global citizenship among studies.
Previous research has shown that studying in an international environment can enhance students’ intercultural communication competences (ICC), develop their global citizenship, and ultimately increase their ability to successfully live and work in a culturally diverse society. However, it remains unclear which conditions are conducive to the development of ICC and global citizenship, and which processes may inhibit it. Many things can come into play, such as students’ cultural background, international experiences, motivations, and coursework. Through her PhD project, Leonor aims to help the university reach its goals with regard to international education, as well as contribute to scientific understanding of intercultural competence and global citizenship among university studies.
