Information for the student – Specialized Communication

Introduction

Faculty hall - Specialized Communication - Universitat de Barcelona

The main objective of the master's degree in Specialized Communication is to equip future professionals with the knowledge and skills to develop their capabilities in the areas of cultural communication, social communication and scientific communication. It covers specialized areas in the field of communication that in recent years have been approached from new perspectives and with new techniques and theories, and that are closely linked to the demands and needs of contemporary society. Tuition is therefore provided by staff from the faculties of Philology and Communication, Law, Economics and Business, Medicine and Health Sciences, Pharmacy and Food Science and Biology.

The master's degree in Specialized Communication provides graduates from a range of academic backgrounds with knowledge and skills related to the practice of social, cultural and scientific communication. Therefore, this master's degree is open to students from all fields of science related to communication. Candidates could be communication graduates or degree-holders and professionals in other human and natural sciences who wish to learn new strategies for disseminating their knowledge and adapting to the new challenges of the information society: philologists, artists, historians, advertisers, journalists, musicians, biologists, nurses, pharmacists, meteorologists, sociologists, lawyers, economists, and others.

The master's degree is taught over two semesters. Core subjects are taught in the first semester, to ensure that students gain the general knowledge they need to be able to specialize. In the second semester, six subjects are taken in each specialization (science, cultural and social). The master's degree can be taken in one academic year or two. Classes are always taught in the afternoon.
