Marco Lünich and Clarissa Stahmann share their experiences studying Communication Science (research)
Marco Lünich, Germany
Research Master’s student in Communication Science
‘The Research Master’s of Communication Science is exactly what I am looking for in a Master’s. I find the strong methodological training in empirical research combined with an interesting variety of theoretical classes really enjoyable. The possibility to freely choose courses from different fields of communication allows me to follow my interests and at the same time introduces me to new ideas.
The great atmosphere and the close contact with world class researchers make the whole programme a valuable and inspiring experience. I am very confident that I will be well prepared after my Research Master’s to successfully pursue whatever comes next for me, be it a PhD or a job in any research-intensive field.’
Clarissa Stahmann, Germany
Research Master’s student in Communication Science
‘Go for it, put effort into it – and enjoy it! That is my bottom line after finishing the first year of the Research Master’s programme. I started it at the UvA because the mix and scope of theoretical and methodological courses attracted me.
I would choose to do the Research Master’s again, but now I would add the good atmosphere as part of my motivation. It is an international programme in all aspects and made a success by the enthusiasm everyone shares for good research and communication science.’
