Master in Corporate Communication

Academic Requirements

The formal requirement for admission to the Master's degree in Corporate Communication is a Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences granted by a recognised university.

Candidates are expected to have acquired basic concepts of management, economics, marketing statistics and communication sciences corresponding to introductory courses in these subjects in Bachelor programs in order to follow effectively the programme.

The places offered are limited, therefore the selection can be effected on the basis of the academic results.

Language

Admission to English-language graduate-level (Master) programmes at USI requires a good command, or advanced knowledge, of the English idiom. Non-English native speakers applying for the Master, or whose previous degree was obtained in another language than English, are required to provide an internationally acknowledged language certificate equal to the B2 level (IELTS 5.5), as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for language learning (CEFR), or equivalent (e.g. TOEFL, IELTS, etc.).

Students admitted on the above-mentioned condition must achieve a C1 (IELTS 7.0) competence in English within the maximum time required to obtain the Master's degree. The level can be certified either by attending a language course offered at USI during the Fall and Spring semester, and by taking the final exam, or by providing an internationally acknowledged language certificate.
