Strategic Communication Challenges 

Are you looking for communication advice? Do you have a question in your organization concerning internal or external communication? You've come to the right place! 

Students within the Communication Science Master can help your organization by formulating evidence-based guidelines that will help you solve the issue. After performing a thorough desk research, students conduct an empirical study (quantitative or qualitative) that will offer them insights to formulate guidelines for your organization. 

New challenges start in October 2021 and end results are delivered in May 2022

Community Service Learning

Are you a non-profit organization looking for help in developing a health communication campaign? 

Students within the Master Communication Sciences who are following the Community Service Learning course are motivated to develop and implement an intervention in cooperation with a non-profit organization. 

Community Service Learning is an experiential learning technique in which academic knowledge is connected to voluntary work and social commitment, and personal growth. Students will assist your organization by not only providing human resources but also with academic knowledge and skills. Reflection and personal growth are key assets in this course. The course involves the development of an intervention (semester 1) and the implementation of this intervention during 40 hours of field work.
