What is Language and Communication?

Communication is about how people and organisations share information, ideas and stories. It can be done in many ways, such as through text, images, video, social media, campaigns or events.

In communication, you learn how to send the right message to the right people. You also learn how to make information clear, creative and effective. Communication is important for brands, companies and organisations that want to connect with their audience.

Stories from our Students

From my first day at Fontys I realized that I would feel at home—calm, happy, and motivated.

Simona

Student International Communication Management Eindhoven

From my first day at Fontys during the introduction week, I realized that I would feel at home—calm, happy, and motivated. I am still in my first year, but I have learned a lot of things such as how to create a good-looking portfolio, work with most of the apps in the Adobe Cloud, recognize marketing strategies everywhere, gain good presentation skills, and even participate in debates.

Studying at an applied university requires more responsibility and individual work compared to high school.

Elise

Student International Communication Management Eindhoven

Studying at Fontys allows me to develop myself on my terms. Within my studies, I have a lot of freedom in deciding what kind of direction I want to go. All the students and teachers are very supportive. However, I believe studying at Fontys can be described as "what you ask for is what you get". Studying at an applied university requires more responsibility and individual work compared to high school. Being able to take the first step might be difficult, but afterwards, Fontys helps you out and is willing to answer all of your questions.
