The article examines the development of intercultural competence in higher education students, emphasizing the role of media education in this process. Globalization and social change demand alternatives to traditional teaching methods. The study identifies key stages in intercultural development—denial, defense, acceptance, adaptation, and integration—and evaluates the effectiveness of media-based educational technologies. Using analytical, experimental, and statistical methods, a positive correlation was found between frequent use of media education tools and student performance. The findings underscore the importance of broadly integrating media education into higher education to foster intercultural competence.
