The 2nd cycle degree course focuses upon the management of communication in public, private and third sector organisations, the activity of advertising agencies, the definition and management of business corporate image at various levels, both in public administration and political institutions. The educational programme is centred on both activities related to public and business communication, and to social, computer and language-related subjects, and on other educational activities aiming at completing the knowledge of communication science through the study of complementary human sciences (Italian Linguistics, Comparative Literature, Political Philosophy).
The course aims at educating professionals who will enter the labour market endowed with high theoretical-methodological competences enabling them to produce good communication products and successful promotional campaigns. These grounded on a solid theoretical basis and well-articulated campaigns are directed towards companies, advertising companies, public bodies and agencies, as well as political institutions.
