The course is incredibly well-structured, combining theory with hands-on, practical experience that truly prepares you for the real world. The lecturers are not only experts in their field but also genuinely passionate, supportive, and always available to help. I’ve grown so much—both professionally and personally—and have gained the confidence and skills I need to succeed in the industry. I would 100% recommend this course to anyone interested in PR, media, or communications!

University of Warwick

The teaching is excellent, and the professors and lecturers genuinely care for you and want to see you succeed which is one of the reasons why this course has been so enjoyable. In terms of value for money...it depends on how you shape your course for the career you want. There are many modules to choose from, with some being more catered to preparing you for employment but most are topics of interest and research. Personal tutor experience can be great, as with any university, it depends on the person you get.
