Overview

The Global Communication and Diversity programme at Radboud University teaches you about professional communication in multinational, multicultural, and multilingual organisational contexts.

This programme trains you to operate as an independent communication specialist. You will develop in-depth theoretical knowledge and methodological skills, and will learn to work in teams through practical communication projects.

Future career opportunities

Since the programme focuses on communication in organisational contexts involving target groups with diverse backgrounds, and on communication with international and linguistically or culturally diverse target groups in particular, many graduates have found jobs in organisations outside the Netherlands or with international organisations operating from the Netherlands. These include for-profit companies, non-profit organisations, governmental organisations, health institutions, SMEs, start-ups, and multinationals. Many graduates are responsible for the external or internal communications of such organisations.

Programme Structure

During the Master's specialisation Global Communication and Diversity you will follow a number of compulsory courses and have room for an elective course. In addition, you will have the opportunity to do an internship – or, if you prefer to focus on theory rather than practice – to follow two additional elective courses. You will complete your study with a Master’s thesis. The courses within this programme have an interdisciplinary approach. They give insights in order to audit, analyse and critically evaluate (the success of) international, intercultural, or inclusive professional communication.
