Communication Science
How do media influence voters during elections? What is the effect of an anti-smoking campaign? And what are the consequences of the growing importance of social media vs. traditional media? We are constantly influenced by media and communication. In Communication Science we study this impact.
Programme
The minor consists of 30 EC (1 semester) or 60 EC (2 semesters), depending on which one you choose. You can find the programme and detailed course descriptions of the current academic year in the Course catalogue.
