Welcome

The School of Communication & Media offers an international experience for bachelor students, students from exchange partners and other people that want to explore international and intercultural communication and information. We have a wide variety of programmes. You can participate in one or more half year programmes (our minors) or enter the 4 year bachelor programme in International communication.
Our students are very much involved. They participate in all kinds of activities, such as the Saidia Foundation and international student radio at Groningens local radio OOG.

Lots to choose from
The School of Communication & Media is one of the 19 schools that form Hanze University Groningen. This means that we can offer a wide range of study options. In addition to having a lot of choices within your study programme, you will also be able to take classes outside your own study programme. This means that you can design your own study programme after a core programme of two years.

Modern facilities
Our School is located at the Zernike Campus, which is just a ten-minute bus ride from Groningen city centre.
The buildings do not look like traditional school buildings with lots of classrooms; they look more like modern offices with all sorts of different workplaces. We have training and tutorial rooms, computer rooms, silent workplaces, student workplaces for group work or individual work and workstations for reading and sending e-mails.

A diverse atmosphere and many opportunities
Walking through our School, you will not fail to notice the relaxed and informal atmosphere.
A lot of socialising goes on in the hallways, which is in contrast to hard-working students in the computer labs trying to meet their deadlines. Our experienced lecturers are easily accessible and will teach you how things work in practice. We regularly invite guest lecturers who will enlighten you on a specialist subject. And if you would like to expand your horizons, you will have elective credits to use as you please. You can, for example, gain experience abroad through our excellent contacts with international partners. You will also have the opportunity to experience a different culture through our many exchange opportunities.

Academic counselling
All of our students have their own academic counsellor, who is both coach and personal mentor. Your
academic counsellor is your first point of contact if you have questions or concerns. He/she supports you in compiling your personal development plan and study agreement. By drawing up these plans with the support of your academic counsellor, it will be clear what you can expect from the school, and what the school can expect from you!

Career opportunities in International Communication
Your studies in international and intercultural communication will prepare you for an international
career in public relations, corporate communication or public affairs in both the public and private sectors.
On graduation you will have developed a broad understanding of international communication and the basic skills needed for a starting position in a wide range of international careers.

Are you fascinated by other cultures and how people communicate? Are you creative and enterprising? Do
you want an international career? If so, studying International Communication may be the right choice for you!
