Media, telecommunications, computer networks, and creative industries affect many aspects of daily lives and reach every corner of the world. They have had an increasing impact on political and cultural life, and on entire economies across the globe. The shift in our everyday experiences towards enhanced mediation has had enormous consequences. It has transformed international relations and business opportunities, but also citizenship and democracy, cognition and culture, as well as people's personal and working lives. Communication and Media has thus become a vital and rewarding field of study, that will help you understand contemporary global society and to function successfully within it.


What will I learn?


The IBCoM curriculum has been designed to help you:


  • Acquire cutting-edge knowledge in each major area of communication and media scholarship as well as an in-depth understanding of several specialized areas of your choosing.
  • Familiarize yourself with the research methods, the information technology, and the communication techniques at the forefront of scholarship and professional practice in the field.
  • Get the skills you need to find employment as a media and communication professional and rise to the challenges you will meet in diverse, international and fast paced working environments.
  • Have excellent opportunities, once you have finished the degree, to pursue advanced studies, both in media and communication and related fields, at Erasmus University as well as at other (international) universities.

Besides these key features, IBCoM has built-in room for an (international) internship, a minor or international exchange experience, a mentor programme that helps new students settle in, as well as an honours programme and other extracurricular activities for further engagement and development during your studies.
