Computer-mediated Communication

This programme is part of the Master's degree programme in Communication and Information Science. Organizations communicate with their customers through a variety of digital and computer supported channels, like the homepage, social media, apps and email. In the programme Computer-mediated Communication, you will study the specific characteristics and possibilities of all these channels. You will also learn about the relevant technologies and products. In addition, you will look at the messages that are being sent via the computer. In this context, you will study the user friendliness of websites and interfaces, as well as the ways in which people communicate through the computer. Three types of interaction are central to this programme: between man and computer, between organizations and people via the computer and between people amongst themselves. The aim of the programme is to familiarize you with the theories and methods to evaluate these interactions. Depending on the courses you choose, you will either specialize in technology or in communication. The track will always keep in touch with the latest developments in the field of information technology.
