Program details

Overview

Communication Science examines present-day communication issues through one of three tracks: Marketing Communication, Media and Democracy, or Media Psychology. The one-year programme trains students to conduct independent social science research and to analyse communication processes at an academic level, identifying new developments and examining the interplay linking media, people and society through a scientific lens. Students also work on solving problems in a professional context by producing specific advice for an organisation facing a communication issue.
