The Advanced Diploma in Public Relations Management aims to fulfil the fundamental requirements of a practically-orientated PR programme. The qualification consists of six compulsory and interrelated modules. All modules contribute in an integrated fashion towards the intended outcomes. During the first semester, students will create and present a public relations strategy and plan to an industry problem; apply managerial principles to find a solution to an industry problem; and construct a digital media strategy based on tool functionality to solve such problems. During the second semester, students will present a critical analysis of the cultural and developmental communication practices of an organisation; create and present a measurement and evaluation plan for the proposed business; and design and present a business plan, complete with operational goals and objectives. Graduates will therefore be able to plan and develop communication campaigns on behalf of organisations, or alternatively act as specialised counsel in a consulting capacity.
