COMN11-111: Communication, Context and Influence

Description

This subject will introduce you to the foundational principles of communication through a practical, real-world lens. While grounded in key communication theories, the focus is on applying these concepts to everyday and professional contexts. You will explore how communication is shaped by context — social, cultural, technological and personal — and how influence operates through language, media, and interpersonal dynamics. You will develop critical thinking, self-awareness, and practical communication skills.
