Wed Jan 13 19:44:10 GMT 2010



Study Global Visual Communication at Jacobs - the ideal place for international, transdisciplinary academics!

The 2-year Master?s Program in Global Visual Communication at Jacobs University is designed for an international student body and faculty strongly committed to transdisciplinary studies. Our research cooperations involve universities from Brazil, China, Europe, Japan, India, and the United States. Excellent multimedia facilities are available in the Behavioral and Social Sciences Laboratory and students will be involved in research projects at the Jacobs University Research Initiative for Visual Communication and Expertise (VisComX).

The program is designed to provide students with the competencies necessary to understand the complex structures of contemporary media and communication systems along with the fundamental changes they are currently undergoing.
Courses consequently focus on the following aspects:

· Transnational and global communication;
· New media and the decline of traditional media institutions;
· The role of visuals in today?s mass and network communication;
· Visual communication and identity formation;
· Internet-based media and democracy;
· Global network studies.

By the end of the Master?s Program in Global Visual Communication, students will be able to systematically and independently analyze the major trends in communication, understand and explain global visual communication phenomena and develop concepts that are fundamental in communication research. Graduates of the program will be in an advantageous position for seeking careers in non-governmental organizations, public administration, international organizations, private and public media as well as businesses with a strategic planning and public relations component.

Please note that there will be no tuition fee for all good and outstanding applicants that are admitted.
