Programme structure
The master’s programme Sustainable Communication (Two Years) provides a deepened
education in the field of media and communication for students already holding a bachelor
degree. The master’s programme prepares students for the possibilities to apply for further
education on third cycle, i.e. doctoral programmes.
The programme has a special focus on sustainability in relation to media and communication.
The workings of the media, both digital and traditional, and the ways public and private
organizations communicate within society, are conceived as having an important impact for the
achievement of environmental, social and economic sustainability. Closely related to this
approach, are also perspectives that focus on media and communication in relation to
globalization and development. The programme approaches this focus from a theoretical,
methodological and communication professional point of view.
