This fast-track, three year diploma program, which is delivered over two calendar years, focuses on effective communication strategies in the public relations industry. Public relations (PR) practitioners must be versatile and skilled writers and speakers as they help people and organizations explain who they are, what they do and why they do it. You will develop your writing and editing skills fo

r electronic and print media as well as your practical skills in a workshop setting with a not-for-profit agency. You will also write and provide input into Reflections, Durham College's award-winning alumni magazine. Your hands-on skills will be refined through organizing and executing a media conference and you will gain event planning expertise by planning and executing fundraising events to raise money for an out-of-town class field trip. After completing your course work you will also gain hands-on industry experience working on placement in a corporate PR office.

Who doesn’t love a good presentation? Our PR students are known to give several weekly presentations as part of their in-class activities.

Just check out this presentation, where they were tasked with quickly but insightfully analyzing websites from various organizations, identifying strengths, highlighting improvement areas, and offering practical recommendations.

From user experience to brand consistency, their analyses showed real PR insight in action.

Even small presentations like this one are essential for building communication skills in PR.

Being able to share ideas clearly, make strong recommendations, and back them up with analysis is key to building trust and delivering value to clients.
