The International Business Communication (IBC) Master’s Program focuses on the strategic role of communication in the global operations of multinational companies and other internationally operating organizations. The IBC Program provides students with niche knowledge, combining business communication theory with sound business knowledge. It also enhances the particular competences, skills and expertise needed in managing international corporate communications.
The concept is unique in Finland - and also elsewhere. In the program, business communication is seen as a distinctive ‘umbrella’ discipline that includes the fields of corporate, managerial, and organizational communication. The international focus and strong emphasis on business knowledge also distinguish the program from most communication programs offered in other European or US universities.
The program draws on business and corporate communication theories, and offers knowledge and skills within such areas as corporate identity, corporate social responsibility, company performance and investor relations, change and crisis management, and international business cultures.
