The topic of this thesis is curricular and extracurricular communication of university teachers and students. Communication is a tool in achieving goals and therefore we give great importance to this topic. This paper lists the key elements that lead to successful communication and lists the problems in modern communication that should be worked on. The emphasis in the teaching process and the communication relationship between university teachers and students. This paper presents the research conducted through a survey in which participated the students from the University of Zadar. The main goal of this research was to examine and determine students' opinion about their own communication skills and their teachers' communication skills and to determine the communication relationship between university teachers and students in the curricular and extracurricular context based on students' responses. Some data were analyzed quantitatively and some qualitatively. The results of this survey showed that a large number of students considered to attend the workshops for the purpose of improving communication skills, but still never attended a single workshop. Also, most students find that communication skills affect personal success while studying. Half of the students point out that communication in the teaching environment is usually one-way. The key problem in the extracurricular context proved to be the non-response of the teachers to students' e-mails.
