The Sol Plaatje Institute for Media Leadership (SPI) at Rhodes University’s School of Journalism and Media Studies invites applications for three scholarships from Southern African students who wish to register for the SPI’s Postgraduate Diploma in Media Management (PDMM) in 2011.

The PDMM is a one-year fulltime programme designed to provide people working in the media industry with skills and knowledge they need to perform more effectively in their organisations and to fast-track their careers to management positions.
