Students acquire skills to work in an interdisciplinary field and learn to express themselves adequately, using appropriate terminology. They gain an insight in the multidisciplinary character of their field of study and learn to evaluate and analyse the relations between the different disciplines. They gain fundamental knowledge concerning the special character of the Central European region and concerning the models which are being developed in this context, especially in view of an expanding Europe. Acquiring basic knowledge of one of the languages spoken in the region, other than their native tongue, will improve their communication and integration skills and strengthen their awareness of the multilingual structure of the region. 6.2.1.
