Lead the communication revolution

Graduated as a communication scientist – what’s next?

After completing the Bachelor’s in Communication Science, most students choose to continue their studies, but you can also get straight to work in a wide variety of positions.

During your studies, you’ll have learned to look at communication with a critical eye. You’ll never consume news passively again; you’ll recognise political strategies; and you’ll understand how communication from external sources shapes your world. You’ll have developed the skills to analyse texts, reveal hidden messages and solve social communication challenges.

Many of our graduates work in marketing communications, take on roles as communications advisers, PR officers, spokespersons or on webcare teams within organisations. As a media expert, you might find opportunities in (journalistic) media or media agencies.

What can you do after your Bachelor’s degree?

Further your education

Are you fully committed to Communication Science? The logical next step is to follow the continuing Master’s programme of the same name (in Dutch).

Thanks to the research skills and methods you have acquired during the bachelor programme, you are also well-prepared for various related master’s programmes at VU Amsterdam, including Policy, Communication and Organization (in Dutch); Sociology (in Dutch); Journalism (in Dutch); Marketing; and the Research Master Social Sciences for a Digital Society.

Start your career

With a Bachelor of Communication Science degree, you are now an attractive candidate for many different employers. Organisations such as Shell, Greenpeace, and political parties would be nowhere without good communication; good projects are bound to fail if the communication surrounding them is poor. You could work for such an organisation, as well as many others, as a communication consultant, social media editor, or webcare specialist.
