Masters Program in Public Relations and Publicity
Our aim: Nationally and Internationally Competent Communicators
We aim to raise individuals who can manage qualified communication in the world, where the latest developments in communication technologies eliminate the physical distances between people, and in a sense, where everyone hears, sees and shares their feelings with each other. We aim to prepare world-class communication experts who produce creative solutions by thinking analytically, who are self-confident, who adhere to ethical rules, and who act with the awareness of their individual and social responsibilities.
