The Master's degree in Communication Policy – Influence and Public Affairs trains high-level professionals capable of developing and implementing communication strategies for public, private, and non-profit organizations.
The first year of the Master's program (M1) focuses on acquiring fundamental knowledge in the fields of information and communication sciences, as well as political science.
This broad approach includes: acquiring social science methods, mastering the fundamental aspects of organizational sociology, communication sociology, etc.
More specialized courses cover the competences enabling students to successfully complete their Master’s degree in the second year of the Master’s Program (M2).
