50118 Public Communication Processes

6cp
Professional Strand – Public Communication – 100 level

This subject introduces students to key communication processes which underpin and inform professional communication practice. Students develop their understanding of how personal, social and cultural constructs and images are formed. Students examine the roles of perception and attitude formation, for example, in influencing meaning making for individual readers/viewers of the texts, events and strategies they develop in their professional practice. They analyse communication dilemmas and design creative and strategic communication products such as speeches, backgrounders, and profiles. They also learn presentation skills essential to effective communication in a professional setting. Students assess group processes relevant to their work with internal and external publics.
