Introduction

Strategic Communication Honours facilitate both theoretical and applied competence in strategic communication. Specialized knowledge of strategic communication theory facilitates the ability to critically review, consolidate and extend strategic communication theory to create appropriate responses and to resolve abstract contextual strategic communication problems. The development of practical skill sets through experiential learning in the form of internships and portfolio-based training facilitates the acquisition of applied and reflexive competence which promote the ability to transfer and apply strategic communication skills sets in a range of communication contexts. This program also instills the moral and ethical sensitivity required for the responsible practice of strategic communications.
