Description:

A compulsory final year placement will involve working with an external client. This could be a few weeks with a newspaper, magazine or broadcaster, or one day a week over several months in the busy PR office of a company, charity or public sector organisation. The course also offers an optional one-year (48 weeks) work placement after the second year, in the UK or abroad. This will give you the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience, insight into your chosen career and open up your graduate employment prospects.

Previous placement providers have ranged from magazines and newspapers such as the Huddersfield Examiner and Barnsley Chronicle, to national opportunities at the Press Association, as well as corporate clients seeking professional video work and agencies in the fast-developing field of social media.
