Six divisions are housed within the Department: Communication, Marketing, Student Recruitment, Digital Communication & Marketing, Media Management and Arts; Culture & Heritage.
Our offices are situated in the Administration Building on the North Campus in Summerstrand, Port Elizabeth, as well as an office on the George Campus in the Southern Cape.
