Communication and Information Studies

In the Master's programme in Communication and Information Studies you will study the effects of communication by organisations and companies. This Master's programme has two specialisations, each with their own perspective on professional communication. You can either focus on the way in which organisations can use communication to influence people’s attitudes or behaviour (Communication and Persuasion) or on how organisations can optimize their communication with diverse target groups in international or intercultural settings (Global Communication and Diversity).
