Кафедра гражданского права и гражданского процесса

This course is about communication on various levels. Over these 9 weeks we will cover a number of theories, cases and applications in the field of communication science. We will start with the foundational concepts of communication theory, defining what the theory is and going through a number of approaches to communication itself. Each week you will have a test to check on your progress and understanding. We also have a final text in the end of the course and a little bit of writing. As Oscar Wilde said, if you cannot write, you cannot think. If you cannot think, others will do thinking for you. So we find writing and reflecting pretty important for our classes. Along the course we provide you with in-class materials: lecture presentations, articles and additional readings. If you really want to get into the topic, don’t avoid this extra work. Although a substantial part of this course is theory-based, communication theory has a very practical application.

Learning Objectives

Communication is an fundamental process that creates and develops relationships, communities, societies. We communicate daily through various means and channels. In our globalized and increasingly interconnected world, communication skills are essential in both the personal and professional fields. Our goal is to provide you with a contextualisation and conceptualisation of communication processes that will allow you to hone your own communication skills — in other words, put theory into practice.
