Location of Leeds Metropolitan University
Leeds Business School is a key player in public relations and communications education, helping you maximise your potential and continue your professional development. We have the largest PR education centre in Europe. Our Centre for Public Relations Studies is headed by Professor Anne Gregory, former president of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations.
The modules delivered on the MA International Communication focus on the challenges that communications practitioners face in their professional work and career development, generating direct value for participants. This is reflected in the range of modules which combine a view on strategic and international communications management, additional knowledge of specialised areas and the reflection of future trends.
Expected outcomes are that graduates of the course could work for an international PR consultancy, a multinational company or global organisations in either the private or the public sector, including several institutions of the European Union.
There is a clear focus during the course on working with clients and on practical problem-solving in the communications sphere.
Those taking the first semester with us at Leeds Business School will benefit from studying in the English language - increasingly the dominant language for communications professionals across the world.
