Education in Communicology
The education is designed as an activity-based education program (training program) that leads to an Inter-Disciplinary Meta-Competence.
Educational structure
The education is divided into modules that last five days each. It consists of three levels, where each level requires and builds upon previous modules.
- Basic level consists of four training modules; Modules I, II, III and IV
- Intermediate level consists of Basic level plus two additional modules; Filter and PED
- Advanced level consists of Intermediate level plus at least four additional modules; Product development, Teaching Communicology and a minimum of two self-chosen modules
You choose your own study pace.
To become a Communicologist at least ten modules are required – Basic, Intermediate and Advanced level.
Within the educational program knowledge is organized, made available and comprehensible to people both inside and outside of academic context. Everyone can enter and go through this education regardless of background, previous education or professional experience. It can be used as basic education, supplementary or further education/training.

Actitivity-based education
To provide a prerequisite for effective learning, the pedagogical activity-frames during the education are varied. Some examples are lectures, demonstrations, film elements, analysis (filtration), guided training sessions, exchange of experience, reflection and transfer of knowledge and competence.
The organization of the material and a great variety of pedagogical activity-frames are prerequisites for effective learning and building of competence. The program is designed so that self-development, collaboration training and leadership development is a continuous process during the education, as well as self-evaluation and supervision.
