Synopsis

This  unit  presents  an introduction to the theory  and  practice  of
Communication,   with   particular   application   to   academic   and

barriers.  Students  also  gain  the  written,  verbal  and   personal
transferable  skills  essential to their role in  a  rapidly  changing
environment.
