In the last decades Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has radically changed the landscape of human communication. The widespread adoption of ICT-based communication and interaction tools in all types of organisations has brought to the foreground the necessity of new professional profiles. The MSc in Technology for Human Communication is one of the few masters worldwide that aims to satisfy this need, by forming specialists able to:
- Analyse, design, create, and maintain digital content for multi-channel business communication (web sites, blogs, web applications, mobile communication);
- Evaluate and assess the effectiveness of digital products;
- Promote digital products: search engine marketing and interactive advertising;
- Design innovative ICT tools for business communication support, interaction and collaboration;
- Design interaction modalities that exploit technologies for supporting human activities.
Next intake is September 2010. Applications are welcome from now on until July 1.
