Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences
Our Faculty is made up of four units: Computing Sciences, Electrical Engineering, Communication Sciences and Languages.
Research and teaching at the Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences (ITC) draws on our unique combination of recognised expertise across a range of disciplines, including the humanities, natural sciences, engineering, social sciences, and theatre and drama. The broad spectrum of disciplines present within our Faculty opens up excellent opportunities to deliver multidisciplinary research and teaching across organisational boundaries. Our Faculty has the potential to generate knowledge and solutions to the complex challenges of our global, digital and multicultural society.

The Communication Sciences Unit
The communication sciences unit conducts research that delves into our increasingly digital media landscape and the role of communication technologies in reshaping not only our thoughts and sensibilities but also our relations with others. Our three research centres (COMET, TRIM and T7) create new knowledge of the impact of publicity, gamification and theatre on our society and culture. Students admitted to our multidisciplinary degree programme in communications acquire a broad base of knowledge and go on to pursue careers in journalism, media research, information research and speech communication. Our degree programme in theatre arts brings together artistic, professional and societal perspectives.
