Master's Programme in Strategic Communication

2 years · 120 credits

Sweden’s first Master’s programme in Strategic Communication is offered at the Department of Strategic Communication. We train students to become independent, critical and creative communication strategists who, after graduating, will be able to work with communication at management level.

Strategic Communication is the interdisciplinary study of the formal and informal communication initiatives taken by an organisation in order to achieve objectives and ensure sustainable survival. These can include everything from marketing and communication aimed at reinforcing relationships with external groups to how a company’s internal communication affects its activities. Over the course of the degree programme, students develop an ability to understand organisations from a communication perspective, by gaining expertise within the fields of organisational communication, public relations and marketing communication.

The Master’s Programme in Strategic Communication is offered at the Department of Strategic Communication. We are Sweden’s largest research and education unit in Strategic Communication.After completing the Master's Programme, the students acquire the Degree of Master of Science in Strategic Communication (120 credits).
