Media and Communication

At the 3rd semester, you have the opportunity to do an internship with one of our internship partners or in a company of your choice. The internship can be seen as part of your specialisation in media and communication, where you develop your communication skills by working with theories and methods in practice.

We perceive the internship as an important part of the learning which you can acquire as a media and communication student, and we work systematically to enter into internship contracts, where both you as a student and the workplace set goals for the course. As a student, you will meet your supervisor from Roskilde University during the internship, and you will follow up on your learning goals together.

An internship builds a bridge to your work life after your study because it gives you concrete experience and access to a professional network. Many of our students end up being offered employment as an extension of their internship.
 
You can also choose to go on exchange to a foreign university and gain valuable experience and an international perspective in your communication study. Our partner universities include, for example, the University of Leeds, Freie Universität Berlin, Universitat de Barcelona, Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, University of Oslo, RMIT University Melbourne, Chung-Ang University Seoul.

You will be part of a strong academic environment where you will be in close contact with researchers, in dialogue about everything from academic issues, possible methods and theories, ways to create new insights and your wishes for the academic direction of your master’s degree study. You will become part of a social environment typically centred in one building on campus, where researchers and students work next door to each other. You will study within the university's project format, where identification of a problem, in-depth analyses, choice and implementation of a methodological approach, as well as setting up a strong theoretical framework are your responsibilities under academic guidance from a researcher. You will participate in a number of courses which expand your methodological and theoretical knowledge. During a semester, you will identify a significant problem within your subject field and develop the knowledge to produce scientific arguments for possible solution(s). You will gain concrete experience with the entire scientific process.

Roskilde University’s Campus

The university is situated on one single physical campus. There are multi-purpose sports courts, a football field, a disc golf course, nature trails along the lake, stream and the fields, a training centre, innovation workshops, a canteen, and a cinema. Our joint meeting place is called Student House RUC, where there is a student-run café and lounge. Both outdoors and indoors, we work to make the campus as sustainable as possible. Among other things, we have reduced energy consumption by 38 percent over the last 5 years and are converting our outdoor areas to wild nature.
