communication in the context of technology, design and organizations
Throughout the Bachelor’s programme Communication Science we will train you to become a communication professional of the future. Our programme is the only one that teaches communication in the broader context of technology, design and organizations.
In our view, communication has the potential to be a leading discipline in the increasingly complex and fragmentary world of people, organizations and society. In tomorrow’s hybrid society, everything and everyone will communicate: people, vehicles, devices, systems. Organizational structures may change, with new technologies providing them with an ever more intricate nervous system. Giving clarity, meaning and coherence to these ‘networks of networks’ calls for effective interaction and information. It means that communication – including eye-catching design – happens everywhere. In today’s world, everything communicates: from product packaging and the use of music and smell in shops to the visual appearance of buildings, and from corporate campaigns to the behaviour of corporate leaders.
