Communication Science

Communication Science at the University of Twente: hypermodern, challenging and 100% future proof. This programme makes you a true 21st century communications professional who moves effortlessly in organisations and who knows exactly how to bring people and new technologies together. To bring impact to society - now and in the future.

WHY COMMUNICATION SCIENCE?

Would you like to know how fake news is spread? How new media applications emerge and affect us? Why some innovations make it, while others fail? Want to create a persuasive app, a 3D environment using virtual reality, or an animation designed to change the behaviour of its users for the better? Or to discover the extent to which the digital traces we leave behind, both online and offl ine, can be used to predict our attitudes and behaviour? Our Communication Science Bachelor’s will prepare you academically and practically for an exciting role as connector in the unpredictable, digitalised world of tomorrow.

This programme has been designed to prepare you for the future in the best possible way. It is structured around three exciting, contemporary themes: Digital Society, Changing Organisations and Persuasive Tech. This means that as a communication scientist at UT, you will study human behaviour and interaction in the context of our high-tech, digital society. And while immersing yourself in communication theory, you will also work in teams on real-world problems. We will help you get familiar with the grand challenges of our age, and explore the important, pervasive role of communication in solving them.

AFTER YOUR BACHELOR’S

As a graduate, you will be more than ready for the role as bridge builder who fi nds his or her way in our rapidly changing and unpredictable world. Those changes are a challenge to you. Your strong academic background, your professional skills and your technological know-how will allow you to work in PR, at a communications or marketing agency, as a communications professional for a company or (public) organisation, or as a UX (user experience) designer. Do you want to study on? Your Bachelor’s degree in Communication Science gives you access to several very interesting masters.
