Programme summary
In this programme, students learn to analyse, design and manage the role of communication in innovation processes within the domains of the life sciences (such as nature, environment, water, nutrition and health, biotechnology and food production). Our students are trained to adopt an integrative approach that involves social science and technical innovations, fulfilling an intermediary role to enhance multi-disciplinarity and interactive cooperation. Communication is a basic element of change. Complex processes of change involve different perspectives and perceptions of the various people involved. Societal processes, like climate change, poverty, disease or ecological degradation, require appropriate solutions that integrate insights from all kinds of disciplines and stakeholders. Opportunities for enhancing mutual understanding and collaboration between science disciplines and society are explored. Special attention is paid to everyday life situations and how people actively deal with common issues related to the domains of the life sciences.

There are no pre-defined specialisations in the programme. Students compile their own study tracks by choosing, alongside the compulsory communication science courses, a combination of closely linked courses, including a minor in a life sciences domain. An internship introduces students to professional practice. The major thesis allows them to become experts in a specific area within communication that is closely linked to their personal interests and future career.
