We often think we know exactly why we do what we do, and that our behaviour is rational. But did you know that only 5% of our behaviour is conscious? The rest happens unconsciously, influenced by others and by technology. In this Bachelor’s, you’ll learn how communication – from social media to smart apps and digital campaigns – shapes human behaviour, often without us realising it. You’ll explore how communication can help tackle pressing issues like fake news, sustainability, and mental health.

The programme is built around three key themes: behaviour in a digital society, communication within organisations, and the role of design and technology. You’ll study in a small-scale, international environment with lots of personal support. After graduation, you can pursue a career in areas like marketing, public communication, media, education, or consultancy – or you can specialise further with a Master’s degree.
