Certificate in Public Relations
Ken Gordon School of Communication, Creative and Digital Media
Digital Media and Communication
Programme Description
Given that public relations and advertising go hand in hand, the contemporary public relations practitioner must be multi-skilled and able to multi task. With this in mind, this Certificate is designed to prepare graduates to take charge of the social media presence of organizations, write and present speeches, organize PR events (mindful of all protocols), and deal with press releases to name a few.
Requirements
Minimum entry into the certificate is three (3) CSEC passes with Grades I, II, (and III after 1998); English A must be one of them.
Mature Entry: Applicants over 25, with a minimum of 5 years’ relevant work experience are also considered for admission. Such candidates must submit detailed curriculum vitae and a portfolio of their work with the application form. The Department may also conduct interviews to determine the candidate’s readiness to pursue the degree programme.
