Programme profile


Communication is at the centre of human social action. From everyday family life to communication in organizations, our lives are shaped and organized through communication. Communication plays a crucial role in society. How can people be persuaded to live a healthy life? How can teachers find out what students understand? How can doctors successfully communicate with low-literate patients? These are all questions about Communication design.

In this programme, you will learn:

- to find where communication succeeds or fails
- to design and implement interventions to improve communication
- to measure the success of these interventions.

The programme focuses on communication from a language perspective in the broadest sense: it is about text, talk, gestures, pictures and digital media. Communication is not only about products, but also about processes involving people, attitudes and opinions. Therefore, you will receive a multidisciplinary training with elements from linguistics, psychology, sociology and marketing.
