This certificate introduces students to the theories and practices of social and public communication. The 30-credit, first-cycle curriculum examines the social, political, and technological aspects of how media messages are produced, distributed, and received, covering interpersonal interaction, technology use, mass media, and popular culture. Students gain foundational knowledge for analyzing the role of communication within institutions and for applying appropriate communication tools and strategies across professional contexts such as advertising, journalism, and public relations. Coursework builds a general grounding in communication theory alongside practical exposure to the production and analysis of media content, preparing students for entry-level roles or for further study in communication-related fields. The program is offered in full-time and part-time formats at the Gatineau campus, with admission open in the Fall, Winter, and Summer terms, leading to a Certificate credential from Université du Québec en Outaouais.
