12 June 2009

You have just completed your degree and after the initial euphoria of knowing it’s all behind you, there is then the challenge of finding a suitable job in the knowledge that the graduates of 2009 are facing the bleakest job prospects for a generation. With competition for jobs so intense, one option would be to increase your employment prospects by adding an MSc to your CV. You do not want to spend the next year watching daytime TV so why not be proactive and come along to the MSc Communication opening evening at Loughry Campus, Cookstown on Tuesday 23 June between 6.00 – 9.00 p.m. and see what we have on offer?

The Postgraduate Communication course is a Queen’s University of Belfast course, delivered at Loughry Campus Cookstown, with options available in Training & Development for Rural Business and Strategic Management for Rural Business. With “good communication skills” always high up on employers’ wish lists the course will allow you to develop and apply your personal communication skills through a range of practical approaches.

The MSc in communication is available on a full and part-time basis and although the course is designed to increase the skills and competencies of those working in or seeking a career in the agri-food and rural business sectors, it is open to all students as communication skills are transferable to any job.
