Abstract

In a global context where cultural interaction and exchange expands to every professional domain, a demand for cultural sensitive education is articulated more and more widely. This paper analyses a pattern of university organisation and governance opened to multiculturalism and stresses the advantages of studying in such an institution. It aims to provide a sound argumentation in favour of multiculturalism in the field of academia and lists the subsequent benefits for graduates who are expected to enter a labour market continuously shaped and transformed by cultural permeations. The paper also examines the impact of such training for the consecration of international stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
