MSc Public Relations and Strategic Communications Mentorship Programme Launch 2021/22
By Emma Meyler, DCU Alumni Relations Student Ambassador
The DCU School of Communications Masters in Public Relations and Strategic Communications (MScPR) programme has kicked off once again with a successful online launch. Beginning in 2017, the scheme pairs mentors and mentees to ensure optimum learning and an early exposure to the professional communications workplace for the MScPR cohort as they begin their careers in the growing Public Relations and Communications Management sector. The programme is run in conjunction with the DCU Alumni Office and the DCU Careers Service.
