Phillip Young has responded to Tom Murphy's
post on "why you would want
to work in PR" with a
post of his own. It looks at why
you would want to study public relations at the University of
Sunderland.
From my stats I can tell that this blog gets quite a few visitors
searching on subjects such as "PR qualifications", "I want to work in
PR" etc. If you're one of those then Phillip's post is well worth a
read.
Although in fairness I'd also point you to
Richard Bailey who is a
blogging PR lecturer at Leeds Metropolitan University which was the
first in the UK to offer PR degrees.
I remember attending an IPR
reception to welcome the very first batch of students. I've also been
invited to give talks to the students and have offered work experience
placements to several students, many of whom have gone on to have very
successful PR careers.
I don't know as much about the Sunderland course other than it has some
very enterprising students such as Stephen Davies, the
PR Blogger, and that CIPR
President Elect
Tony Bradley is very involved.
