Communication & Creative Business
The Communication (CO) & Creative Business (CB) programmes offers students the chance to improve their communication skills, learn about trends in the media world and how to be a content creator within an inspiring environment. Our department offers English taught minors. Each minor is a one-semester study programme (5 months = 30 EC).
Fall Semester / 1st Semester:
Spring Semester / 2nd Semester:
- International Journalism
