What our Students Say
“My Master of Public Relations and Advertising degree was incredibly rewarding, fun, and empowering. Strangely, it didn't feel like I was doing a degree, it was more of an opportunity to meet smart people from around the world who shared the same interests as me, learn from advertising execs (including people who worked at Leo Burnett!) and work on real-world advertising and PR briefs”
- Laura Prael, UNSW Master of Public Relations and Advertising Alumni
