General Information

Overview

In Introduction to Strategic Communication, you will explore how communication shapes our world, influences behaviour, and gives meaning to our lives. As a foundation unit serving students from various disciplines, you will engage with key communication theories and learn the art of strategic storytelling within our increasingly networked and digital society. You will examine how professional communicators create narratives to build brands, influence change, and connect with audiences across diverse contexts. Through real-world case studies and practical applications, you will develop essential skills in visual and written communication, providing a solid foundation whether you're pursuing a career in public relations or seeking valuable communication knowledge for your chosen field.
