Public Relations involves a mix of journalism, business and marketing, social media and communication theory.

You can choose to spend a third, half, or two thirds of your study time on Public Relations. A popular choice is for people to combine practice-based modules in Public Relations with theory-based modules in English Language and Linguistics.

If you would like to combine Public Relations with media studies, please apply for Mass Communications.

You could combine Public Relations with any of the other subjects in the Combined Subjects programme.

For those who choose PR as a dual or major route, the final year will include a major project where you will produce a PR campaign of your own.

Our tutors provide a very supportive learning environment. They have all worked in the PR industry and they have strong links with organisations such as the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR).

The University’s facilities are excellent and around 9 out of 10 of our students say that they have been able to access specialised equipment when they need to, according to the National Student Survey.

At the end of the course you will have a wide range of career options. Public Relations employs tens of thousands of people – making it comparable in size to journalism.
