    WELCOME :) 

    This course aims to give you a clear insight into what constitutes effective oral and written business communication in a fast-paced global business environment, and provides you with the opportunity to develop your own workplace communication skills.

    The course is highly interactive and task-oriented. Case analyses, simulations, written assignments and individual and team presentations will allow you to practise the theories and key concepts introduced during the course. Peer and lecturer feedback will give you a clear picture of your present communication skills, and an indication of how you can enhance your performance.
