Overview

While companies grapple with protecting their reputation and behaving ethically under intense scrutiny from many stakeholders, communication professionals need to provide counsel at the highest level. The course has a laser focus on current and future industry concerns, and is taught by leaders in industry and research, with an emphasis on engagement and ethical and inclusive communication. You will develop the critical thinking, analytical and practical skills needed to meet the environmental, social, technological and governance challenges communicators and organisations face daily. We will go beyond the acronyms and buzzwords in current communication practice, and equip practitioners, through real-world practice, to be excellent communication professionals in their chosen industry.
