Public Relations and Media Strategies MA

"I’ve really enjoyed my time on the MA in Media and Public Relations. It has helped me to understand the different aspects of media and public relations beyond the surface level. My favourite module was ‘Building a PR Campaign’ this is because in creating a campaign that I was passionate about I was able to put different aspects of theory that I found particularly interesting such as framing and consumerism, into practice in order to create the vision that I was going for. The support offered by course leaders helped me to create work to its fullest potential and was very helpful in introducing new opportunities for those of us on the course to take advantage of that we may not have accessed such as the PRCA webinars. The experience of the MA gives me many skills that employers are looking for and up to date techniques and tactics to help me stand out from others." – Eden Mitchell

" The teaching and support from the teaching team on the MA in Media and Public Relations were key to making the most of my program and degree. I asked questions often, visited their offices and took advantage of tutorials, and found they both Mike and Jo provided support and resources each step of the way. I just landed a job at FleishmanHillard, and my interviews and assessments drew heavily on knowing about media lists, the basics of press releases, and researching and developing pitches. I found that the campaign coursework in FM5602 (Building a PR Campaign) tied academic principles we’d learned all year to the practical work of agency practitioners." – Tristan Torgersen

"The MA Media and Public relations has a high quality of teaching with tutors who are always there to help you and give you all the keys to find your way into the professional world. The Lectures and Seminars are a good mix of theory and practice when you can put in practice what you have learned in the lecture. Group work was always a good way to exchange ideas and learn. After the MA I found a job in a PR agency. The Masters gave me all I needed to know to become a PR practitioner. " – Cecile Benoit
