About this programme
The Master's programme in Communication and Society in Ibero-America critically examines the current social, political, economic, and environmental debates in Ibero-America by studying their reflection in social and public communication . The programme provides its students with area-specific knowledge on Ibero-America, a macro-region consisting of Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula at its core as well as those regions with which there are close historical, cultural, political, or socioeconomic ties. The programme builds upon the students' previous work and broadens their knowledge with complementing perspectives from a variety of disciplines, focusing on the current challenges being faced by Ibero-American societies. At the same time, the programme strengthens the students' methodological skills by combining approaches from both the humanities and the social sciences.
