Open MIC

Choosing a master’s programme is a big decision, and hearing directly from students can make all the difference. If you’re considering a career in international corporate communication, strategic brand management, crisis communication, or sustainability communication, this programme might be the perfect fit for you.

Why study the master in International Communication?

Our students choose the MIC because they want to:

• Experience a truly international environment – The programme includes students from around the world, offering diverse perspectives and a global network. 

• Practice and gain real-world experience – MIC focuses on applied learning, with students working on real-life projects for international organisations. 

• Work on their career prospects – Graduates go on to work in corporate communication, PR, crisis management, branding and more. 

• Be in a supporting learning atmosphere – Students mention the welcoming and collaborative environment that helps them thrive. 

The student experience: moving to the Netherlands & cultural diversity

Many students in the MIC programme relocate to the Netherlands for their studies, and the video captures their experiences adapting to a new country. 

Key takeaways from their experiences: 

• Multicultural learning environment – The MIC programme brings together students from all over the world, making it a melting pot of ideas, perspectives, and experiences. This is for many the highlight of the programme. 

• Living in Groningen – A vibrant student city with a great balance between study and social life. You can discover our students favourite spots in the city here.

• It’s a learning experience – Students emphasize that moving to a new country is a rewarding challenge, and Hanze provides support and guidance throughout the process.
