Capita Learning&Development announces new Master’s Programme in Internal Communication Management

March 5, 2013 - PRLog -- The Master’s in Internal Communication Management is run jointly by Capita Learning & Development and Kingston Business School and is accredited by the Institute of Internal Communication.

Chris Sharp, Managing Director, Capita Development Solutions was quoted as saying: ‘This is an incredibly exciting time for Capita Learning & Development. This master’s programme has been specifically developed in recognition of the increasingly important role that internal communication plays in facilitating change within organisations. We will continue to deliver and design relevant training programmes for the UK market.’

This programme is appropriate for internal communication practitioners who are developing a more strategic approach and are seeking the depth of knowledge and flexibility of thinking that comes from an advanced qualification. Candidates should have significant experience in internal communications and be educated to  degree level.

An emphasis on workplace based learning means that participants can integrate study into their working lives.  The programme combines short workshops with online learning and personal study. This ensures that time away from the office is minimised. A focus on group work helps build strong and lasting relationships with fellow professionals.

Dr Sunitha Narendran, Head, Department of Leadership, HRM and Organisation, Faculty of Business and Law, Kingston University added: ‘In a connected and constantly changing world, organisations need communication advice from individuals that combine gravitas with an ability to think like a business leader. The new master’s level qualification provides this and we are excited to add it to our portfolio of programmes that contribute to the success of organisations in the UK and beyond.’
