Methodology
The Postgraduate in Corporate Communication has an eminently practical approach and is aimed at promoting active learning.
The teachers are active professionals with extensive teaching experience which guarantees a high level of teaching. We also have, on an occasional basis, guests and experts who provide complementary views from different fields and sectors. During the course, lectures are combined with case methods, presentations made by the students, role-playing games, and workshops.
100% professionalizing
You will learn under the guidance of a teaching staff made up of active professionals with extensive professional and teaching experience.
Practical and participatory methodology
The program combines lectures with real and current practical cases, workshops, and role-playing sessions.
Undertake a postgraduate final project
The Postgraduate Final Project integrates the work carried out for the main subjects related to the same organization. The Communication Plan is the common thread and includes elements of internal communication, crisis communication, content strategy, and use of social networks.
Project mentoring
Each student is assigned a mentor who will act as a guide for their project and challenge the student's thinking and ideas.
Evaluation
The Final Postgraduate Project and its defence before a committee is one of the pillars of the program's evaluation system, along with the work and activities (individual or team) that are commissioned in the different subjects, multiple choice exams, and class attendance.
Tools
The On-Campus&Live methodology allows you to follow the program in person and also remotely.
In this modality, two stable subgroups are opened that will coexist throughout the course: one face-to-face and the other with 100% remote students. The remote students (a maximum of 15 places per course) will follow the program in a synchronous way with the face-to-face students. That is, they will share the same school calendar and schedule as the face-to-face students.
Project-oriented learning and the combination of lectures and active methodologies such as case studies, flipped learning, solving real problems, and professional simulations allow the student to connect theory and practice, acquire advanced skills, and achieve learning which is transferable to the job. The face-to-face modality is enriched with elements of online programs (virtual learning environment, multimedia resources, among others) so that the learning experience of the two subgroups is equally satisfactory.
You will have:
- Master's or postgraduate work to learn by doing
- A personal mentor to monitor your Master's Final Project (TFM) or Postgraduate Final Project (TFP)
- Digital resources to achieve transversal skills
- Interdisciplinary activities and workshops
- Digital resources and audiovisual blocks for online learning
- Active methodologies for transferable learning
