Public Relations
If you’re interested in people and love to write, have good analytical skills and are able to work under pressure, a career in public relations (PR) may be right for you. It covers a variety of subjects including business communication, PR concepts, PR strategies, corporate identity and branding, marketing communications and advertising and PR campaigns.
You will learn how to communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders using a range of media, including blog posts and social media, develop effective media relations and campaign plans, and write reports, speeches, video and presentation scripts, and strategic organisational responses.
UOW's PR major draws upon communication theory and teaches you how to evaluate the cultural and organisational contexts, key trends and ethical issues influencing contemporary PR, and to critically evaluate the role of PR in society and organisations.
