In the BSc programme Communication and Life Sciences, students learn to apply insights from communication science to current societal issues, problems and challenges in life-science related topics. Graduates of the programme should be able to analyse the role of communication and media in processes of social change at individual, organisational and societal level. Based on this analysis, they are able to support the design of relevant communication interventions and strategies. The focus on communication in processes of change means that the BCL programme not only contains courses on theories of communication science and on communication practices and processes, but students are also introduced to relevant theories of the neighbouring social science disciplines social psychology, sociology, political science and public policy. This knowledge allows graduates to understand the role of communication in a broader context of social change and social intervention and leads to more effective designs and technologies in processes of social and organisational change in life-science-related domains.Students specialise in a life science domain of choice e.g. sustainability, health, climate change, natural resource management, urbanisation or food. The unique combination of education in communication science with solid knowledge in a life science domain allows students to explore life sciences issues through the lens of communication. \nThis enables graduates to bridge the gap between different disciplines as well as between societal stakeholders and contribute to solving pressing societal problems.
