In the course “Advanced Public Relations Management” (PBRL 4014), students get the opportunity to learn from professionals in the public relations and communication fields and to create a communication plan for an actual client! This is just one of many courses in the Bachelor of Public Relations degree that integrates hands-on, experiential learning, where students apply what they learn in the classroom to real-world client needs.
The experience gained in this course and throughout the Bachelor of Public Relations degree prepares students with highly applicable, in-demand skills, resulting in excellent employment outcomes for students post-graduation.
Fun Fact: The course in the video provided a flexible delivery option for students, so many attended online!
Note that you can still apply to the Bachelor of Public Relations for a Fall 2026 start! Get your application started today at msvu.ca/applynow

A huge thank you to the Canadian Public Relations Society Nova Scotia (CPRS-NS) and our amazing speakers, Ceilidh McMeekin, Logan Oderkirk, and Tien Pham, for sharing their insights about breaking into the industry 💙
The conversation was so helpful for our students and gave them a look into life in PR 👩💻

Can’t wait for the next one!
