Communication & Information Studies

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Amsterdam Research university

What role does language play in communication within various types of organisations, such as governmental, commercial, media and healthcare organisations? That is the central question in the master's programme in Communication and Information Sciences.

During the programme, you will write and analyse texts, study the experiences of news users, research the role of images in communication, look at how body language influences our communication, and much more. Although the exact content differs per specialisation, each track trains you to become a communication specialist.

The four tracks of the programme are:

Multimodal Communication (English)
Journalistiek (Dutch)
Schrijven en vertalen (Dutch)
Dialogue, Health and Society (English)
