Master Communication Science - University of Twente

The programme
Communication is at the heart of all human endeavour – from business, marketing, and conferences, to art, relationships, and social media. All societal challenges and organizational issues are inextricably interwoven with communication. In today’s world, to understand communication is to understand organizations, marketing, consumers, public relations, and many other key aspects of society. This is why our Master’s in Communication Science is about more than just selling products, designing websites or creating marketing material. It’s about developing a clear vision of society, or business, learning to view things from multiple perspectives, recognizing the role of communication – whether it is a part of the problem or a part of the solution. It’s about advising organizations about their communication strategy and helping them to move forward with confidence.
In today’s increasingly complex and fragmented world, technological developments are leading towards new organizational structures. Powerful, yet intricate networks of communication are emerging. Communication will become even more central, happening everywhere, all the time, and demanding a new type of expert to manage and understand it.
