If you want a career as a professional communicator, the Post-Degree Diploma in Professional Communication is for you. You’ll gain experience writing in a variety of genres, editing both print and online documents, designing and producing documents using industry-standard software, and working on projects in teams and individually. You'll also participate in a professional experience opportunity - either a job or a project - that requires a significant amount of writing. Equip yourself with the knowledge, skills, and behaviours to work as a professional communicator in sectors including business, government, not-for-profit and publishing. Please note that you must have a bachelor's degree in order to take this program. This program is designed to meet the needs of both recent university graduates and working professionals. Courses are offered every semester in the daytime, evening and online. On-campus attendance is required for program completion, however, as the credential cannot be completed solely through online studies. Designed for post-degree students, the Career Boost program prepares you for part-time paid or volunteer positions that complement your studies. You’ll participate in career-building workshops, one-on-one coaching sessions, career fairs, networking with employers, peer-led leadership meetings and more. Once you graduate, you’ll get the continued support, skills and knowledge you need to find a full-time job in your field.
