Course curriculum

The Master's study plan in Specialized Communication consists of sixty credits structured in three subjects.

Areas of communication (24 credits). The four subjects that make up this subject or module are compulsory and are taken during the first semester, along with the training supplements. This subject guarantees the acquisition of the general knowledge necessary to be able to later specialize in one of the three branches offered by the master's degree.

Optional subjects: Scientific Communication, Social Communication or Cultural Communication (24 credits). You must choose one of these three specializations, which are taught during the second semester. Each specialty consists of six subjects.

Apart from the six subjects corresponding to the chosen itinerary, optional internships (6 credits) can be carried out in organizations related to the chosen specialization. These internships can be done with any of the companies or institutions with which the University of Barcelona has collaboration agreements. They are tutored by the master's coordinator and a person in charge of the entity where the internship takes place. If you don't want to or can't do the internship, you can choose to enroll in two elective subjects from a different route than the one you have chosen (6 credits) until you reach all the necessary elective credits.

Master's Final Thesis (12 credits). It is necessary to prepare a written work under the supervision of a doctoral tutor, in which the ability to develop an intervention or research in the professional field and the ability to work independently must be demonstrated. You are also expected to integrate and apply the knowledge acquired throughout the master's degree. The work must be defended publicly at the end of the master's degree.
