We are proud to present the abstracts of the theses that have been written by the Graduates of the Executive International MSc Programme Corporate Communication.
All participants are required to write a thesis in order to assess their analytical ability and accumulated knowledge. The thesis is evaluated on the basis of the same standards applied to full-time business administration students. It focuses on a practical corporate communication issue in a real-life setting. Participants often choose to research a problem within their organisation. Past subjects have included brand leadership, corporate stories, effective communication strategies, and the use and abuse of propaganda.
