About us
Mercurius is the study association for bachelor, minor, pre-master and master Communication Science students at the University of Amsterdam. Mercurius represents the interests of students and organizes a broad range of activities for our members, for example social activities like drinks and parties, but also company visits, workshops, symposia, career events and an annual study trip. Yearly, about 400 to 500 first-year students sign up for the Communication Science program. Mercurius consists of +/- 600 members. These are bachelor students, master students and alumni.
Medium
Mercurius had its own magazine ‘Medium Magazine’ between 1987 until 2017, which was focussed on topics related to Communication Science. In 2017, the last edition of Medium Magazine was published, after which Medium switched to Medium Online. Medium Online is an online blog with articles that relate to the field of Communication Science. Weekly, new articles are published. In addition, since 2016 Medium is also active on Youtube at the channel of MediumTV. The team of MediumTV regularly produces videos about topics related to communication, marketing, opinion and more. There is also a Podcast that covers a wide range of subjects.
