Master in Corporate Communication

  Switzerland

Lugano

Term: Academic Year 

Description: The Master in corporate communication presents and discusses topics related to communication in business. The importance of communication and its impact on decision-making processes highlight the need for training that combines management skills with specific knowledge of corporate communication. The courses of this degree programme are designed to develop analytical and decision-making abilities for corporate communication, grounded in a sound knowledge of organisation, business economics and management.

In order to help develop those analytical and decision-making skills, lectures are integrated with more active teaching methods, consisting of discussion of case histories, role-playing, business games, individual and group projects, etc. The programme consists of a series of courses that give an overview of, and introduction to, topics and problems related to corporate communication. This is followed by courses that further the study of corporate communication on a more in-depth and specialised basis.

The programme stretches over two years (120 ECTS credits) and covers the competences necessary to work in communication departments in companies or in agencies and consulting firms in fields such as public relations and advertising.
