Welcome to the website for PMA’s Postgraduate Course in Public Relations. Our intensive 10-week course is designed to help you get your first job in PR. People have questioned whether we can really teach anything worthwhile in such a short time. Of course we can: For 19 years, we have been successfully running a similar, nine-week postgraduate course for magazine journalists. How successful? Over the years, many who took that course have won national awards and are now editors or work on national newspapers. Their accolades include: Editor of the Year; Specialist Consumer Journalist of the Year; Consumer Journalist of the Year; The Observer Young Travel Writer of the Year; New Journalist of the Year.  

The PR course works along the same lines as the journalism course, where the emphasis is on practical work, not theory. We don't talk about how the industry is supposed to work, we train you to go out and do the job. What magazines look for is someone who can write, edit or design, rather than talk about the principles behind it. That’s why the magazine course is so successful. As its reputation grew, PR agencies asked if we could run a similar practical course designed for their industry. They, too, want to recruit people who can be immediately useful from day one, rather than having to train them over a period of months before they can start to make a worthwhile contribution. This site will tell you more about the PMA Postgraduate PR course, finding a job in PR, the talents you will need to win a place, and a little about PMA Training.
