Location of Kingston University
Run jointly by Kingston Business School, Capita Learning and Development, and the Institute of Internal Communication, this is the only course of its kind offered at this level in the UK.
Developed in recognition of the increasingly important role that internal communications plays in facilitating change within organisations, this professionally-accredited course provides a challenging programme of study that will develop your interpersonal and leadership skills as well as your understanding of the importance of communication and change in the organisational context. If you are associated with or responsible for internal communication within your organisation and would like to develop your knowledge of the subject, this course is ideal.
What will you study?
This programme comprises an induction day at Kingston University's Business School and four modules delivered in Central London. Each module consists of a workshop, including expert speakers and topical case studies where you will study the role of the internal communication manager, employment practices and the nature of information and communication.
You will explore the effects of internal communication on the organisation and the impact of organisational factors on internal communication. You will look at the strategies and policies needed to underpin internal communication objectives and actions. You will also learn how to measure the effectiveness of internal communications.
On successful completion of the diploma, you will be eligible to go on to top up your qualifications to the Internal Communications Management MA at Kingston University by successfully completing a research project.
