In cooperation with the Institute of Political Science and the Institute of Sociology, the Institute of Communication and Media Studies offers a BA in Social Sciences. Within the framework of this degree, we teach the basics of communication and media studies in introductory courses. We also offer advanced seminars with a focus on political communication. Our goal in teaching is to promote students' critical and networked thinking about the social sciences and to sensitise them to the communication science aspects of political processes.
Current information on the BA Social Sciences
On the website of the Department of Social Sciences (in German), you will find a continuously updated documentation on the BA in Social Sciences program. There is currently no Master of Communication Studies at the University of Bern. The BA Social Sciences qualifies students for the following master’s programs: Sociology, Political Science and Swiss Politics and Comparative Politics.
