A 3-year course that will teach you how to get your message across through photos, videos, and writing. DMC will introduce the art and science of compelling persuasion, changing perspective and content presentation.</p> <p>Interviewing, researching, writing, laying out pages, social media outreach, crafting marketing proposals and doing presentations, as well as recording broadcast clips are all part of the our Mass Communication programme. And much of this takes place outside the classroom so you can look forward to activities including overseas trips, industry internships, workshops and excursions. </p> <p>Whether for the web, TV, radio or print, you will learn how to tell a story for different audiences and platforms. DMC also caters for specialisation in areas including journalism, or public relations and marketing communication. </p> <p>RP’s Diploma in Mass Communication. <strong>Think</strong> outside the box. <strong>Stretch</strong> your potential. <strong>Be ready</strong> for any challenge.
