I’m now into my second semester of the Public Relations and
Communications course. I was first drawn
to this course because of the focus on the work experience and the strong
teaching team who has a wealth of industry knowledge. Since beginning of the year, this course has
taken me out of my comfort zone and really challenged my creativity.
I believe that this course is giving me a varied look into
the world of PR and will gradually equip me with the skills and tools I would
need to be successful when I graduate.
So far I have managed to gain work experience in a PR agency
in Harrogate. I also use my initiative to
widen my planning skills by helping to organise an alumni event for a local
secondary school. I’m enjoying both placements and learning a lot from it. They have been great opportunities to for me
to put the theories I learned into practice.
The way the course is
structured means I can fit my work placements in with my studies, which gives a
balance to my learning.
The Public Relations and Communications course has enabled
me to use my skills that I have as a person and develop new skills in a supportive
study environment, this has allow my confidence to flourish.
I look forward to seeing where this course takes me in the
next three years. I hope to continue to
get the real insight into the PR industry and explore the different opportunities
that present themselves in the future.
