International Communication Management
Companies have embraced transparent communication because customers can watch their every move on social media, and brand journalism is now a major source of income for international media. It’s little revolutions like these that beg the question what international communication will look like in the near future. During the Master in International Communication Management (MICM), you will learn how to react to further changes that influence international communication as a whole, and how to use them to your advantage.
At MICM students are immersed in an environment of differing perspectives in which they will experience hands-on how different cultures communicate in different ways. Of course, you will learn a thing or two as well. MICM deals with everything there is to know about international communication, such as corporate reputation, media relations, social media and internal communications, so businesses across the globe will know whom to call when they face a sticky communication problem.
MICM is not just any master. Apart from the in-depth material on international communication you will acquire during lectures, the real MICM experience is learning from your peers in the international classroom. MICM students typically differ in terms of occupation and nationality and this always inspires them to discuss burning questions about communication during course lectures. Students find answers on how to use communication during a corporate crisis, for instance, or how to implement a strategy to better a company’s internal relations. In addition to the eight main courses and the thesis project, students also complete five Professional Skills seminars. These seminars, along with the other courses are renewed each year, ensuring that the MICM curriculum remains relevant and reflects overall trends in the marketplace. To conclude the programme MICM students will write their thesis. Sure, it will be hard work, but you won’t have to lock yourself up and focus solely on writing. MICM encourages each student to write his or her thesis for an organisation. This trains you to ask clients how they would tackle today’s communication problems. After graduating from THUAS’ MICM programme international organisations will be keen to benefit from the knowledge and intercultural outlook you attained.
