Your future with a degree in Applied Communication Sciences
The course prepares graduates for managerial positions in the fields of press, public relations and corporate communications. It enables them to recognise the possibilities of new media and to use them comprehensively.
The conceptual and interdisciplinary orientation of the degree program creates the basis for a profound understanding of more complex communication, media, social and economic contexts. In addition to the critical ability to reflect and abstract, focus is primarily given to specialised skills to solve problems, which also includes the social and ethical aspects of public relations.
