Intern Communication Office

The Communication Office is crucial in enhancing the Institute's profile both internally and externally and in achieving its advocacy and student acquisition targets. Our policy is one of openness and cooperation with all our partners and other audiences. New technology involving social media applications, web and audio-visual productions are central to this policy, as well as more traditional functions such as producing brochures, infographics and advisory tasks. The Communication Office also assists the Rectorate of the Institute in communicating decisions internally and strategic information. A motivated and enthusiastic team is important and all members are expected to help out whenever needed.
