Description

In this capstone subject, students synthesise and apply the skills and knowledge acquired across their studies to produce a work-like strategic communication project. The project may be, for example, a strategic communication plan for an organisation or a campaign; a critical analysis of an existing communication strategy or campaign; or an evaluation of a communication strategy or campaign to inform development of a new communication campaign. The project allows for student consolidation and extension of learning especially in regard to those critical and analytical skills associated with consultancy and management roles.
