Overview
About
The increasingly globalized, digitalized, and specialized society we live in today poses a number of complex challenges: fostering inclusion, equality and diversity in fast-changing work environments, ensuring and strengthening mental wellbeing in the light of online harassment and information overload, or for example listening and being heard in an arena of many competing voices.
Communication is key in meeting challenges
The Communication programme of the University of Gothenburg empowers you to grow as an independent, critical researcher and skilled professional, able to navigate the intricate dimensions of intercultural, organizational, and digital communication.
One programme—three areas of specialization
Insights and perspectives from disciplines such as media and communication studies, linguistics, organization and management research, informatics, pedagogy, and sociology foster in-depth understanding of communication as a field of research and practice. You can choose an educational path that interests you after gaining advanced knowledge and skills in three areas of specialization:
- Intercultural communication explores the influence of culture on communication in areas of application ranging from business to cooperation and conflict.
- Organizational communication focuses on issues, approaches to, and challenges of communication within organizations, and between organizations and external stakeholders.
- Digital communication examines the role of digital technologies in communication—how they shape communication and how we can use them to study communication.
