Departement of Communication
The Department of Communication works in fields such as journalism, strategic communication, public relations, social media, influence and creative marketing communications. There are several education programmes in these areas, as well as research that excels both nationally and internationally.
The subjects in communication are utilized with an interdisciplinary perspective. This concerns professional communication and understanding how communication takes place within culture, society and organisations. In this way, communication is also an area of expertise that all disciplines can utilise, and which means that this department is involved with many other disciplines.
The teaching emphasises proximity to working life, with offers of studies both at the college and as flexible online studies. The department is involved with teaching activities at all levels, as 1-year courses, bachelor degrees, master degrees (from 2020) and also at doctoral level.
