Why study Public Relations?
Studying public relations will see you graduate well prepared for a rewarding and successful career that can take you just about anywhere in the world. Public relations provides you with a strong foundation for working in public relations and strategic communication across corporate, political and not-for-profit sectors. In our courses, you will learn about the positive, storytelling side of PR as well as the issue, risk and crisis communication side of PR. You will develop skills in communication management, campaign organisation, planning, strategy, research, budgeting, evaluation, writing and media production. You will also understand the theories behind modern public relations. Seize the opportunity to apply these skills to real clients, developing industry materials and strategic campaigns in a professional setting, giving you the practical experience employers are looking for. With a minor in public relations you will be able to professionally identify and manage organisational issues and crises, and design solutions to communication problems.
