Overview

Public Relations (major)

Public relations (PR) is about managing information and relationships between organisations and stakeholders, individuals and the public, or a combination of these. The key is effective, and strategic, communication that builds understanding. PR can create awareness, trust and a favourable public image that help shape and maintain the reputation of an organisation, event or person. PR activities can take place in business, government, and not-for-profit-settings.

While studying the PR major, you will gain real experience with real clients and issues to develop the skills required as a PR professional. During your degree you will collaborate with your peers to execute a PR campaign for a not-for-profit organisation; past clients include St John Ambulance NSW and Football South Coast. The profession can offer roles in media relations, digital communication, events coordination, social media community relations, crisis management, or corporate communications.

You will also undertake a final-year capstone subject that gives you the opportunity to work with students from other disciplines and apply everything you have learned. Also, you can apply for an internship to gain valuable experience while receiving credit towards your degree.
