Programmes
The Master's programme in Cognition and Communication is a research-based programme. The research behind the programme is broadly founded within the fields of media science, philosophy and psychology. You will therefore be able to explore topics such as cognitive film theory, hands-on communication and subjectivity research. Being taught by active researchers, you will get a good impression of the current state of research in the academic field, while also having the opportunity to delve into the various fields of research associated with the field of study yourself.
Companies are increasingly looking for candidates who can apply their knowledge about cognitive processes, both in connection with the sale of products and services, in interpersonal communication among employees and external communication—and both face-to-face and as mediated by technologies.
Graduates from the programme are able to analyse and interpret communicative aspects of, e.g., actions, emotions and thoughts. You can, for example, use these competencies to plan communication surveys, provide advice and consultancy within media production and to design and evaluate computer-mediated communication as well as to plan and implement communication strategies.
Admission to the programme is competitive and limited to 40 students. All applicants will be subject to an overall individual assessment and admission will be granted in accordance with the selection criteria published on the programme's website.
