Press relations and public relations is a thing of the past - public communication is the future. Efficient communication is an important part of career success. The Public Communication programme focuses on the key elements of highly professional communication. We examine the various types of “public” and the tools from the PR, marketing and advertising sectors that can be best employed to reach them. In a nutshell: we put you on the fast track to future-oriented communication.
Mode of Study
The programme is taught in a modular format with blocks of mandatory attendance (totally around 14 days per semester), e-learning (virtual seminars) and guided self-study phases. This form of study makes it easier for participants to combine work and study. In the fourth semester, arrangements for the seminar focusing on the master thesis are agreed with participants on an individual basis.
