Welcome to the Department of Communication (IfK) at the University of Münster.

The new fellow at the Centre for Research on Digital Public Spheres comes from the United Kingdom: Dr Janna Joceli Omena from King's College London will be visiting the IfK from September.

Just Börne, Kiepenkerl and bicycles? What do people in other parts of Germany think about Münster and how do they feel about the city? The cooperation project between the IfK and the City of Münster focuses on a comprehensive analysis of the perception and evaluation of the external image of the city of Münster.

The student initiative ‘campus relations e. V.’ is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and shows how student engagement can bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical experience. Students – especially those studying communication science – have the opportunity to gain practical experience in public relations, take on responsibility and build professional networks.

On 18 July 2025, a total of 89 graduates of the Institute of Communication Science (IfK) were bid farewell in the castle auditorium. Prof Dr Helena Stehle, Managing Director of the IfK, congratulated a total of 13 Master's and 73 Bachelor's degrees as well as 3 doctorates from the summer semester 2025.
