Gain real-world skills
'My Graduate Certificate in Business gave me a broad taste of niche areas within PR and Communications, which helped guide my career.
The practical skills I gained were invaluable. Being able to work up a quick, unique and effective communications plan has been a very practical help, plus working with analytics data that I hadn’t been exposed to before studying.'
