Bachelor’s Programme in Market Communication (GI), 180 credits
Bachelor's Program in Market Communication (GI) is a three-year master's program that educates you on analyzing and solving communicative challenges using the full potential of visual expression media.
The program's broad grasp of both theory and application prepares you to work on senior positions in the communications industry. At agencies focusing on advertising, PR, brands, design or digital marketing. Alternatively at companies and organizations' marketing / information department. For example, your role can be project manager, information manager, designer, strategist or planner. The program also prepares you who wish to study for a master's degree in Sweden or abroad.
An interdisciplinary approach places market communication in cultural, artistic and commercial contexts. The program includes education in finance, project management and law as well as visual communication, graphic design and typography. Great emphasis is placed on the ability for critical analysis, creative problem solving and practical application of theoretical knowledge. The program includes a C-thesis as well as a final project work. During one semester, you can choose to read elective courses or go on an international exchange.
Master's Program in Market Communication (GI), is a modernization and further development of the education that was formerly called the Grafiska Institutet (GI). Applying parts is still an important part of the education, but great emphasis is also on providing a scientific basis for the applied elements.
