Studying public relations degrees

A public relations degree offers international students the chance to master strategic communications and reputation management in a rapidly evolving digital world

Public relations (PR) is concerned with the management and distribution of information about an individual or organisation to the general public or other organisation to affect their public perception. This can involve communicating on behalf of the individual or organisation, managing their business affairs and social appointments, and disseminating information that is relevant or important, among other things.

A public relations manager plays an important role in the maintenance of the success and reputation of individuals, businesses and organisations.

As someone who works within public relations (PR), you will be responsible for the communication and management on behalf of an individual or organisation. This is an important role as it can affect the reputation of said individual or organisation, and therefore impact the success of their business, brand, product or service.

As the rise of social media and the online world continues at a rapid pace, public relations are becoming increasingly integral in the marketing and communication process.

During a Public Relations degree, you will cover a range of subjects, from business management to communications. Some examples of modules you may study include:

  • Branding and Digital Marketing
  • Media and Communication
  • Media Relations
  • Contemporary Communications
  • Reputation Management
