Technical and professional writers put scientific and technical information into easily understandable language. They prepare scientific and technical reports, operating and maintenance manuals, catalogues, assembly instructions, sales promotion materials and project proposals. They also plan and edit technical reports and oversee preparation of illustrations, photographs, diagrams, and charts. They impart research findings for scientific or medical professions, organize information for advertising or public relations needs, and interpret data and other information for a general readership.
Glendon's Certificate in Technical & Professional Communication teaches people to transform information into words that others can understand. You will develop a clear understanding of what helps and what interferes with communication.
Requirements for admission:
This certificate is open to the following applicants:
If you are a current York student, contact the Technical & Professional Communication program in the School of Translation to find out about admissibility requirements and the application process.
If you are a new applicant to York and already have a university degree in a related discipline or recent work experience in an administrative or a technical field which requires writing, you must ensure first that you meet the minimum requirements for admission to the University by applying through the Office of Admissions. You would then also make a separate enquiry to the Technical & Professional Communication program, as noted above.
