Acquire the ability to detect and exploit the most convenient approach to research and set the scope that your project needs”

Research in communication sciences has its own protocols. Learning to identify the right approach, depending on the purposes pursued in the project, and recognizing and mastering the right tools for its development, is not so easy. The speed of technological evolution, on the one hand, forces professionals to be in constant contact with innovation. On the other hand, changes in consumer profiles, attitudes and expectations, make the message itself and its reality changeable and different according to the variables involved.

This program will methodically cover all aspects of this way of working. The traditional ways of doing research in already well-established media, such as television and cinema, will be approached with a novel and thriving addition: television in its on-demand format. Students shall study the variations in communication models and the most successful representations: Netflix, HBO and Amazon Prime, to understand the new codes in communication and forms of consumption.

Today, as always, research that is not made available in the appropriate settings might as well not exist. Therefore, it is essential to know the appropriate mechanisms and settings available to disseminate research in communication. Congresses, Seminars, Calls for Papers, Journals, Funded Projects, etc.

As a novel element, the program includes reflective leadership skills, with strategies to follow in order to identify opportunities for change, action and visibility of the work done.

A complete academic path that will gradually lead our students to achieve the competitiveness required by a demanding professional market.

This postgraduate diploma offers you the chance to easily master the right tools to collect and process information in the context of a research project in the 20th century”
