The initial assessment and the in-between assessment of intercultural sensitivity of students of the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria (UASUA) is examined, representing an important part of a planned longitudinal study. Additionally, the researchers present the design of the future. In general the researches want to explore the effects of intercultural education on business students. In this paper the researchers want to evaluate whether there is a difference in cultural sensitivity of students choosing two different business studies, one with, the other one without intercultural courses and inputs. Furthermore, the disparity between objective and subjective intercultural sensitivity is compared. In a next step the researchers analyze the effects of the first intercultural education part in one of the selected business studies. An approved test instrument (IDI) and an additional survey developed by the researchers are used for evaluation and t-tests are used to compare the two groups of students and the development of the sensitivity measurements over time. These findings contribute to a longitudinal study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of specific input on intercultural sensitivity over several generations of students.
