Course Content

The degree is made up of a single pathway from Master 1 to Master 2.

Students can spend one or two semesters in ERASMUS partner institutions. The EPRIC degree has very close links with two other degrees: Public and Political Communication; Organizational Communication.

The Compulsory Core Teaching Units (UEFs) and Methodology Teaching Units (UEMs) of the three communication Master’s degrees are shared over the two years.

Students who have passed the Master 1 can go on to the Master 2.

In addition to the final exams and continuous assessments, the Master’s students are assessed on an individual dissertation in M1 and M2.

There is a four-month compulsory internship in the Master 2.
