People acting like opinion leaders and communication experts in their networks of peers, consumers interacting with brands and co-creating value with them (or even against them), stakeholders seeking dialogue with organizations like activists, companies facing the challenge of two-way conversations…this is the communication scenario we live in!

That’s why going back in 2010 we decided to launch the International Postgraduate Master in Corporate Communication IPMCC leveraging on the competences developed by LABCOM -Research Lab on Corporate Communication over more than two decades of research activities in the communication field, and on the professional mastery of communication executives belonging to the main companies and communication agencies operating in the national area.

The effective blend between academic and managerial perspectives will encourage you to develop an open, creative, professional and flexible mindset, providing a unique set of competences that will enable you to outperform in every sector of the corporate communication field, both in companies and in agencies.

IPMCC develops a managerial and pragmatic approach and imply your active participation by getting you involved in group discussions and assignments to stimulate team building, pragmatism, problem solving and critical thinking.
