Bridging the gap between previous academic training and the advanced study of media, the Preparatory Programme for the Master in Communication Studies is designed for students whose prior undergraduate degree does not fully align with the specific prerequisites of the VUB Master in Communication Studies: Journalism and Media in Europe. This programme serves as an essential academic bridge, ensuring that all incoming students possess the foundational knowledge in communication theory, research methodologies, and media analysis required to thrive in the Master’s programme.

The curriculum is purposefully structured to bring students up to speed with the core tenets of the field. By engaging with these foundational modules, you will develop a rigorous understanding of the socio-political and economic dynamics of European media landscapes. This is not merely a remedial step, but an intensive preparation that grounds your future specialization in journalism and media studies in a solid, critical academic framework. It is the ideal pathway for international students or those changing disciplines who are committed to pursuing a high-level research-oriented degree at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
