How are UniSA courses unique? The Graduate Diploma in Communication (Public Relations) is available 100 percent online, so students can study from anywhere in the world and in their own time. This qualification is designed in direct collaboration with the Public Relations Institute of Australia (PRIA), ensuring the content is relevant and our students are building the skills and knowledge required in the profession.

Tell us about UniSA. The University of South Australia has more than 31,000 students, including on campus and online. We partner with more than 2,500 companies worldwide to bring our students placement, project, research and work opportunities to ensure our graduates are career-ready.

How do UniSA classes differ from other classes of their kind? UniSA online classes acknowledge that we all have different ways of learning, so opportunities are provided for real-time, informal interaction through virtual meetings, chat rooms and social media.

What skills do you teach specific to your industry? The latest global research into the Public Relations industry identifies strategic planning, written communication, social media, and multimedia content development as the top skills required for future growth. Our program addresses all of these and provides foundational knowledge to prepare graduates for work in a constantly changing industry.

How do your students blossom along the way? Graduates leave our program with a sense of confidence and a different way of looking at the world. Rising above the technical skills needed in the industry, they are prepared to think and work strategically in leadership positions within public relations and communication management.
