Course description
This course offers an individually designed program that enables students to gain hands-on experience in the practical application of communication principles and processes in a work environment. Students undertake short-term or part-time assignments with a host organisation of their choice. Tasks to be involved in will need to apply and build on the knowledge and skills gained from the Part B courses, for instance, creating a communication strategy or campaign, facilitating stakeholder engagement, creating relevant policy briefs, writing a research paper, developing project proposals, conducting a participatory situation analysis, capacity building, or reviewing existing communication practices. Suitability of proposed placements are discussed with each student individually.
The Internship application form is available here.
