We encourage all University staff, & students to use the website as a tool. We view it a bit like the Swiss army knife of information. It has everything you need to get students through their practical courses in the Communications Department as well as its promotional features, such as: Handbooks, facility & equipment descriptions & the courses related to them, uploaded student work & much more! Below is the breakdown for the past semester:
