Assessment method
Traditional lectures and seminars are employed, particularly around those subjects requiring a detailed, factual knowledge base. We see it as an essential component of the programme that you engage in reflective practice which informs your future personal development. Our assessment methods range from practical production tasks to traditional essay assignments. You produce a professional-level multimedia public relations campaign addressing a range of styles, genres, platforms and audiences. You produce an essay on a topic related to public relations theory. You write an academic essay, which helps provide a broader context for the practical work undertaken for your Final Project. For your Final Project, you research, analyse and implement a promotional multimedia campaign for a real-life business client or undertake a self-conceived piece of independent research and produce an extended essay under the guidance of a nominated supervisor.
Entry requirements
Applicants should normally have a good honours degree (2.2 or above) in a subject related to the field of study. You are evaluated on an individual basis and the level of your achievement, experience and suitability for the degree is properly assessed.
