Every day, we are confronted with the media, commercials, images, e-mails and other forms of communication. The bachelor Communication Studies will help you place these phenomena in a broader context. You will develop a diverse and scientific view of communication processes. Mass media, group communication and interpersonal communication will be discussed. The current media landscape will be analysed using communication theories and media will be defined as important parts of contemporary culture Communication studies at the University of Antwerp is not a technical training leading you to be a journalist or film director. If you wish to understand communication processes, you must study the social context. You will acquire thorough knowledge of social, political, and economical phenomena, which is why Communication Studies is part of the faculty of Political and Social Sciences.
