Location of Aalborg University

Globalization means that individual countries are tied closer together in terms of politics, economy and culture, and new media such as the Internet have made communication between people in many different countries both easier and faster.
If you are looking for a Master's programme that allows you to tailor your academic credentials to suit both your personal interests and the rapidly changing demands of today's world, consider Culture, Communication and Globalization.

If you appreciate the informal, egalitarian, and high-quality tradition of Scandinavia combined with the advantages of practical, project-oriented learning, then you will find Aalborg University the ideal location.

If you can picture yourself as a project manager in an institution, organisation or company that aims to succeed on the international stage and in a multicultural society, an MA in Culture, Communication and Globalization at Aalborg University can provide you with the qualifications for which you are looking.

The programme offers graduate students the opportunity to develop their competencies with a view to working in institutions, organizations or companies with a focus on communicative, cultural, social and political aspects of global processes.
In-depth courses are offered in the areas of market communication, consumption studies, organizational studies, international relations as well as international migration and ethnic relations.

Students are free to choose their area(s) of emphasis in tailoring their study programme to their own needs and desires. All classes are taught in English.

An internship of one semester within an institution, organisation or company in a foreign country or in Denmark is incorporated in the programme. Optionally, the internship may be replaced by a semester of study in another study programme at Aalborg University (e.g. Tourism, European Studies or Development Studies) or at another university in Denmark or abroad.


Contents

The Master's programme in Culture, Communication and Globalization contains four streams of study:

  • Market communication and consumption
  • Organizational culture and leadership
  • International relations and the global order
  • International migration and ethnic relations

You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.

Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
