The introduction of communication skills and language study courses in our universities and other tertiary institutions have underscored the need for people to be specifically trained to teach these courses. Our programme offers courses in Business Management such as Business Communication, Advertising, Public Relations and Public Speaking, all of which have the use of language as their central resource and yet, are all crucial in the education sector.

The employment prospects of our students exist in all polytechnics and universities in the country, since communication skills, as a course, is taught in all these institutions. Also, graduates of this programme will be needed to handle the Public Speaking, Business Communication, and Public Relations courses which are regular features of the Business Administration and Management Studies programmes in our polytechnics and universities.

Finally, it is expected that an internship/practicum dimension of the programme would provide our graduates with the practical orientation and the requisite skills for finding placement in the corporate world as employees or entrepreneurs in the field of communication.
