Equip yourself with in-demand skills, craft a professional portfolio, and forge industry connections on this flexible, forward-looking course that offers an internationally recognised postgraduate qualification.
Social media, smartphones and the internet have changed how we talk to each other – and how organisations talk to their customers – forever. Stories spread round the world in the time it takes to order a latte. Word of mouth has never been more powerful at generating interest for organisations. But how can this wave of change be harnessed? In our digital age there is a rising demand for communications professionals with the skills to plan strategic PR campaigns and drive success for businesses, charities, and government organisations.
On this course you’ll develop the specialist skills needed to communicate effectively across a range of media and digital platforms. It’s important to understand the bigger picture, and you will study within a framework that emphasises strategic thinking and a critical stance, enabling you to make an effective, ethical and responsible contribution to your organisation.
You can tailor your learning to your career aspirations and gain practical experience – and always-valuable contacts – on an industry placement.
Students will normally possess an honours degree or equivalent from a relevant subject area (eg Arts, Humanities or Social Sciences). Students without a traditional honours degree may be admitted (subject to interview) to the programme if they have other relevant qualification and appropriate work experience.
