The Department of Communication, Media and Culture was the first Department of its kind to be established in a Greek University, welcoming its first students in the 1990-1991 academic year. Ever since, its mission has been: “The theoretical and historical-empirical exploration of the communicative phenomenon; the creation of executives with employment potential for the public services, public relations, and press offices of the public and private sector; and the instruction and training of journalists and qualified staff for the daily press, magazines and online media, as well as for all other forms of communication and information”.
The Department’s aims are:
- to conduct research in particular cognitive areas, and specifically in the fields of communication, media and cultural administration through the development of interdisciplinary approaches,
- to provide academic knowledge of the highest standard and training in the relevant scientific fields to the students, while preparing them for a professional career in journalism (both in print and digital media), applied communication (including advertising and public relations) and cultural management, combining to this end, theory with practice.
The Department aspires for its graduates to acquire communication skills, academic competence, technical and digital skills, familiarity with the field of culture and the cultural and creative industries, philosophical knowledge, critical thinking, professional responsibility and market expertise.
