The Advanced Writing and Reporting Skills (AWARES) is a programme that focuses not only on improving writing skills but also on facilitating proficiency in research as well as critical and cognate skills. The course will be of particular benefit not only to persons who work in the media and in public relations or who aspire to enter these fields, but also beneficial to those who merely wish to improve their general writing skills. Important components of the course include learning how to optimize language skills in communication and the application of critical thinking to enhance the quality of one’s work as well as the improvement of productivity through greater self-management skills.
