Course Overview:

In this course, students will focus on:

developing effective communication skills in professional contexts. Together, we will examine the intersections of ethics, language, and processes, while building core competencies across written, rhetorical (oral), and interpersonal engagement. Themes and content across the course are designed to be accessible and valuable for a diverse audience, culturally sensitive and relevant, to help you turn individual insight into organisational impact.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, the students should be able to:

• Understand the foundations of professional communication through ethics and linguistic nuances.

• Develop structural clarity and conciseness when composing written content.

• Learn the fundamentals of coherent and engaging rhetoric when presenting.

• ??Navigate organisational structures through a nuanced understanding of cultural dynamics that foster collaboration.
