Overview
The MA Knowledge and Communication at the University of Münster examines how knowledge is created, processed, disseminated, and used, including the effects of knowledge and knowledge communication.
Our concept of knowledge encompasses not only knowledge validated by the scientific system but also alternative forms of knowledge and everyday understanding. By specialising in computational communication science, students gain expertise in linking large volumes of data and knowledge, and in processing, organising, and interpreting knowledge in the form of data.
Three key aspects which distinguish this programme from others:
- It offers a consistent specialisation in knowledge communication while being integrated with other areas of communication science.
- It emphasises computational communication science while also covering other methodological skills.
- It is the department’s first programme offered in English.
Career
- Research-oriented professions.
- Public relations: universities, industries, museums, cultural institutions, authorities, cultural organisations and media companies.
- Experts with relevant skills to shape the exchange of knowledge in science, civil society, politics, and business (e.g. social media experts, data analysts, knowledge brokers, communication consultants).
- The programme’s international focus fosters intercultural communication skills, essential for global career opportunities.
