Previous basic knowledge in strategic communication, public relations, and communication management.

By completing the course students understood selected topics and challenges of applied communication research, specifically in strategic communication as field of inquiry and field of practice. Participants substantially increased their skills of analyzing the specific environment of strategic communicators and their organizations in selected areas of application. After successful participation, students identified and analyzed key actors/organizations (e.g., multinational companies, NGOs, IGOs, government) in domestic or international applied communication. Participants developed skills in planning applied communication strategies, tactics, and/or campaigns. In addition, they increased their experience in working with clients.

This course focusses on different aspects of applied communication management. Students review relevant concepts, models, and findings of strategic communication management research. They subsequently apply that knowledge to practical tasks in order to resolve problems of applied communication management. Depending on the specific focus in the according term, the course helps students in getting to know different types of organizations in fields such as international business, international civil society (NGOs), or government. Students will look at those organizations' strategies, structures, and tools of strategic communication management. Depending on course arrangements in the specific term, students might be asked to work in cooperation with a real client on different aspects or problems of communication management.
