The English-taught BA in Communication and Public Relations (180 ECTS) is a long-standing programme (since 1996) that provides students with an in-depth understanding of how communications practices, theories and skills powerfully shape and inform the world we live in. The programme focuses on two key fields, namely, media studies and strategic communication, which are approached with an emphasis on intercultural differences and global trends.
Studying Communication and Public Relations in Brussels offers students the opportunity to study in one of the world’s largest business and media centres, home to the second-largest press corps. Students learn from experienced professionals from political institutions, media organisations and international corporations via guest lectures, and gain practical experience thanks to the internship programme.
Another element that sets this programme apart from its competitors, is the opportunity for students to develop, train and hone great skills to present ideas in the course of this BA, through the vast number of presentations that they will prepare and the many feedback opportunities the programme offers as a result of its small-scale, personalised approach.
Graduates of this Bachelor programme are well prepared to play a leading role in the communications department of political institutions, corporations, lobbying firms and media organisations.
To complete this Bachelor’s degree, a minimum of 180 ECTS (credits or study points) is required. Most students complete the intense and rigorous study programme within 3 years of admission. The programme also requires the writing of a BA thesis.
