A big part of addressing global issues like the environment, human rights and poverty reduction requires addressing people’s behaviour and the way we live. Communication is vital in changing social processes and behaviour. The specialization Communication and Media equips you with the skills to develop, implement and evaluate communication and media strategies to do just that – using communication to realize social change.
You also learn how to stimulate cooperation between different stakeholders, like governmental bodies, NGO’s and companies, in addressing social issues and local, national or international levels.
Key issues
Communication & Media is very broad. We focus on issues such as social change, public opinion, cross media and developments in the media sector, freedom of speech and access to information.
