Overview

Master of Professional Communication

Communication is the key to solving the world’s problems.

Diplomatic breakthroughs, scientific discoveries, life-saving health advice – all these things depend on the ability to communicate clearly and effectively.

Communication also increasingly relies on an understanding of cultural context, across complex global networks.
If you have a bachelor’s degree in any field, this course will equip you with the communication skills to unlock the potential of your degree; and to really have an impact. 

You’ll master successful oral communication techniques, learn how to write for specific audiences and become proficient at analysing digital texts. 

At ECU, you’ll also learn best-practice communication strategies to manage interactions between organisations.

As part of the course and to contextualise your learning to your own interests and expertise, you’ll design and execute a master project

This will be a guided independent study that emphasises a process of inquiry, analysis, and synthesis of communications theory and practice to your own discipline.
