Intercultural sensitivity is defined as an attitude which reflects the degree of readiness to interact with people from different cultures. Intercultural sensitivity is very important for effective communication between members of different cultures and social cohesion in today's varied and globalised world. This thesis is based on a quantitative research on intercultural sensitivity conducted on students of the economy of entrepreneurship, technical management and tourism at the VERN' University, using an adjusted intercultural sensitivity scale. The research has confirmed that the degree of readiness of students from VERN' University to study or work abroad is average, that students of economy of entrepreneurship, technical management and tourism estimate their intercultural sensitivity as low when we talk about knowledge of different cultures, as well as that there is no difference in the degree of intercultural sensitivity between students of economy of entrepreneurship and students of tourism from VERN' University. However, students of tourism show a statistically larger difference in answers which refer to the perception of their own coping in different cultures and behavior with foreigners, as well as a bigger readiness to live abroad. The conclusion of the thesis is that it is vital to include the teaching about interculturalism into education, which would teach young people about respecting diversities and help develop intercultural competencies which would make it easier for them to navigate in today's globalized world.
