Study programme
As a communication scientist-to-be, you will study different forms of communication, both via more traditional channels such as mainstream media, as well as social media and new digital technologies. By doing research and using theories, you will look at how these forms of communication affect individuals and society as a whole, as well as how and why people use different forms of media.
