Overview
Communication Management program at Turiba University aims to develop competencies in problem-oriented research by combining communication and management. Likewise, it is possible to develop skills to create and implement communication strategies in companies and other organizations, including international ones. The study program offers to develop already accumulated knowledge, skills and abilities at a higher level.
All doctoral students have the opportunity to become involved in the work of the European Journalism Observatory (EJO), an international network of researchers and media professionals, and to apply for an EJO grant at the Freie Universität Berlin.
A PhD in Media and Communication is not only an acknowledgment of a scientific qualification, but also an assessment of the professional ability and achievement of the degree holder. In many parts of the world, a doctoral degree is not only an element of prestige, but also an unwritten and even written need for senior management candidates.
