Communication Science: Academic Research Master's

This ambitious Master's combines theoretical courses on the production, use and impact of information and mediated communication with a training in the conduct of academic-level research.
The Research Master's (Academic specialisation) in Communication Science is a two-year Master's programme especially developed for students with above-average aptitude and ambitions who are looking for an excellent programme in Communication Science research. It is also the flagship training programme of the Graduate School of Communication.

We assist students in designing a study programme suited to their theoretical and academic research interests:

substantive courses in the fields of corporate, persuasive, entertainment, and political communication, and cross-cutting topics such as digital analytics or political marketing

advanced research methodology courses enabling the student to conduct high-quality research, plus an optional research internship

participation in ASCoR's ongoing research

Master's thesis in the form of a research project

Courses are taught in interactive groups.

Upon successful completion of the programme, students are awarded a Research Master's of Science (MSc) degree in Communication Science.
It is possible to transfer from the one year Master's programme in Communication Science to the Research Master's programme in Communication Science.
