Humber’s Bachelor of Public Relations program will prepare students for an exciting career filled with opportunity. This program combines academic rigour and theory with a hands-on experience. Students will build the skills required to be successful in the field while having fun and meeting lifelong friends who will become the core of their professional network. Through special conferences, events and guest speakers, students will meet and work with some of PR’s leading professionals and build their practical skills during a 14-week work placement.   

Humber's courses cover a broad spectrum of public relations skills. Students will write stories, shoot videos, create podcasts and learn how to manage social media. They will also learn about business, how to deal with the news media, and how to pull everything together into a communications strategy that helps organizations reach its goals.   

And, at the core of this program is the writing. By the time students graduate, they will have developed the strong writing skills that Humber’s Bachelor of Public Relations is known for – the writing skills that employers value. 

Students will gain practical, hands-on experience in the industry by completing a mandatory work placement in the summer between Semester 6 and 7. There are a variety of roles in corporate, non-profit, government or agency settings that range from large multinationals to small proprietorships. It is up to students to apply for and secure the position. Humber will provide support, working with their contacts and industry partners to help identify employment opportunities.
