Communication and Information Studies: Dialogue, Health and Society
What role does language play in communication within various types of organisations, such as governmental, commercial, media and healthcare organisations? That is the central question in the master's programme in Communication and Information Studies.
During the programme, you will write and analyse texts and talk, study the experiences of news users, research the role of images in communication, look at how body language influences our communication, and much more. Although the exact content differs, each specialisation trains you to become a communication specialist.

All tracks of the master's programme in Communication and Information Studies will train you to become a language and communications professional. A number of subjects are the same for all of the tracks, and other specialised courses for each track will, of course, differ.
What the tracks have in common is a focus on the role of language in communication. The difference is that, in each track, varying degrees of attention are paid to spoken and written language, persuasive and informative language, language and image, multimodality, normativity, writing culture, and language use in social media.

You will of course develop specific skills within in your specialisation, but there are also general skills that you will learn as part of the master’s programme in Communication and Information Studies (CIW).
For instance, as a CIW graduate, you will have excellent research and analytical skills. You will also know how to craft messages in ways that have the most impact on specific target groups. And you will know which communication channels to use and when to use them.
