50238 Public Communication Processes
8cp; elective
Professional Strand - Public Communication - 100 level

Key areas are studied to ensure that students are able to practise as professional communicators who can advise others about communication and implement creative campaigns. Students need to develop a high level of communication expertise in their written, oral and audiovisual presentations, and be skilled in argument and in analytical and creative approaches to problems. Issues covered include the research and shaping of audience opinions, attitudes and behaviour. Students develop audiovisual literacy, knowledge of design principles and an advanced understanding of how personal, social and cultural constructs and images are formed. Students gain skills in working with texts, images and sound through practical workshops and are introduced to the basics of using computers for such purposes.
