The Graduate Diploma in Strategic Communication focuses on the advanced skill, knowledge and capabilities required to participate in the contemporary global communications environment in industry, government agencies and community organisations. You will develop skills across a range of media relevant to developing sound communication strategy in a global media context. Students will complete core units in digital media, project management and global media, as well as having the opportunity to choose from electives in areas such as media governance, global journalism, marketing, and public communication. The course is intended for those who wish to begin further study so they can proceed to the Master of Strategic Communication or those who would like a shorter course to advance their expertise in communications issues.

Career opportunities in the communications sector are constantly growing. Almost all large organisations need a communications expert to advise on corporate communications, community liaison projects and human resources-based projects such as change management. In addition, private organisations in consumer marketing, media, public relations, advertising and digital communications require strategic communications specialists.
