International Relations
At the Department of Marketing Communications, we know very well that international cooperation can help us acquire valuable experience. That is why we aim to foster an international professional environment for education and research development in the field of marketing communications.
How do we achieve that? Primarily by supporting and initiating international cooperation through joint projects and activities. At the same time, we are open to new networking opportunities and forming strategic partnerships.
Our students frequently take advantage of mobility opportunities within the Erasmus+ programme to acquire new skills and experience abroad. The Faculty of Multimedia Communications has formed partnerships with universities from all over the world, the complete list of which can be found here.
The follow-up Master’s study programme in the full-time form of study includes classes taught in English, in which students have a chance to get to know foreign Erasmus+ students studying in Zlín. These subjects serve as a platform where students can share their international experience with one another.
Besides Erasmus+ studies, incoming foreign students can now attend our summer school. We also offer a follow-up Master’s programme in marketing communications taught completely in English, suitable for both foreign and Czech applicants.
The DMC is involved in international projects, and our teachers often participate in international conferences and publish research in international scientific journals. A brief overview of our international activities in the past two years can be found below.
