Communication Science
Our programme aims to prepare students at the highest level for independent research in both theoretical and applied communication. The cornerstone of our training is interdisciplinarity: here, communication and media studies form an organic unity with fields such as visual arts, anthropology, rhetoric, and political science.
With the guidance of our supervisors and researchers, you can explore countless aspects of communication, including:
- Culture and Linguistics: Stylistics, rhetoric, and cultural studies approaches.
- Visual and Behavioral Studies: The connections between visual communication and behavioral science.
- Social Dynamics: Research focused on anthropology and political science.
Why Join Us?
Communication—whether verbal, written, or digital—permeates every moment of our lives. If you don’t just want to receive messages but want to understand the mechanisms behind them, this is the place for you. Be part of the COMMunity and become a recognized COMMresearcher!
