This program provides students with the knowledge and skills required to excel in the ever-expanding communication industries.

The program accommodates both existing communication graduates and professionals to enhance their skills, as well as provide foundations in communication for those who have no prior background.

Courses within the program are designed to increase your understanding of the application of communication theory and research to health promotion, business, public relations, policy and politics, intercultural relations and globalisation.

You will be able to develop your knowledge of communication dynamics, as well as practical professional skills.

Please note:

Due to semester course offerings, it may not be possible to complete a field in the Graduate Certificate full-time in one semester.
