Programme details
The Master’s in Communication Sciences is a postgraduate programme established in 2010 under the auspices of the School of Journalism and the Faculty of Humanities.

Academic in nature, the Master’s approaches Communication Sciences from the perspective of Public Communication, training graduates to analyse, from a theoretical and methodological standpoint, the challenges surrounding the construction of public goods within academic and organisational contexts.

Students are expected to address current communication and information challenges within the State and its public entities, at both national and local levels, as well as within various civil society organisations and among the wider citizenry.

Its research areas include Political and Institutional Communication; and Science and Technology Communication.

The programme is intended for individuals holding a Bachelor’s degree in Social Communication and/or a professional qualification in Journalism, or a Bachelor’s degree or professional qualification in a related field within communications. In the latter case, the Programme Committee will assess the applicant’s academic and, where applicable, professional background to determine whether they are prepared to meet the programme’s curriculum requirements.
