In the world of communication, in public and private institutions as well as in publishing companies, evaluation skills are required in choosing between different alternatives and in solving increasingly complex problems. By means of a didactic approach that seeks to bring together the logics of "knowing" and "knowing how to do", the aim is to develop those abilities to formulate judgements that are necessary to undertake subsequent studies, with a higher degree of autonomy, but also to deal with the various problematic situations in the working environment. In particular, Communication Science students will have to develop decision-making skills starting from the results of their own and other people's work, through the critical analysis of documents, products and data, the classification of events and processes, and the collection, selection and processing of information from different sources. The expected results are verified during the preparation of the final examination and achieved in the dissertation.

A specific feature of working in the world of communication is the daily management of a language (written, spoken, figurative, etc.) that is never unambiguous in its relationship between symbol, signifier and meaning and is immersed in contexts that are very lacking or too rich in information, noise, redundancy. The management of communicative processes requires training based on stimuli from individual study, discussion with teachers and team work experiences. The graduate in Communication Sciences must be able to combine technical skills with creative abilities in the creation of (textual, audiovisual, editorial) products that are appropriate to various communicative situations, both in Italian and in at least one foreign language. They must also be able to communicate, share, synthesise and rework information and knowledge in cooperative work contexts. The expected results are verified and achieved in the course of the examinations and during the apprenticeship, with particular emphasis on interpersonal skills in study and work environments.

The curriculum focuses on learning methodologies and on the innovation of teaching methods with the aim of promoting autonomy in the choice and evaluation of knowledge sources and of fostering the learning of logic, strategies and methods underpinning a dynamic and conscious construction of knowledge. The expected results are verified and achieved in the context of all the training activities of the course, with particular attention to any critical points identified by the tutors and in the context of orientation initiatives.
