This unique English language programme focuses on the rapidly changing field of media and communication in a European context. 

The Communication Studies: New Media and Society in Europe programme at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) takes an original interdisciplinary approach and allows students to concentrate on business, policy and/or user aspects of new media.

This Master of Communication Studies gives you the unique opportunity to study in an environment with all European institutions right at hand. The European Union plays a crucial role in media and communication policies. It has tried to foster a single European market in media and services. Through several large programmes, it has stimulated innovation and the emergence of a European Information Society. The European Commission’s current Digital Agenda for Europe sets the framework for the coming years. In this master programme, you will gain an understanding of European policy and policymaking in the fields of media, innovation and the internet.
