The innovative Diploma in Internal Communication Management is the only course of its kind at this level in the UK.  It was developed in conjunction with industry in recognition of the increasingly important role that internal communication plays in facilitating change within organisations and also in response to rising demand for professional accreditation for internal communication specialists. 

The course is delivered by Kingston Business School academic staff and industry practitioners. The programme is offered jointly by Kingston Business School, Capita Learning and Development and Communicators in Business.

You can tailor your studies to link directly to your workplace with the MA dissertation which requires a substantial piece of independent work investigating a real business issue and resulting in recommendations which have immediately applicable managerial implications.

Our successful Strategy into Practice seminar series, which has been running for many years, is designed to give you the opportunity to gain experience of strategy within major enterprises. You will hear first-hand accounts, from top managers, on the management of complex international organisations, promoting innovation and creativity, instituting cultural change and managing growth.

You will have the opportunity to ask questions and to network after each session with academic staff and local business leaders. These seminars are open to external attendees, alumni and students.
