Public Relations at Bournemouth Uni?

Thanks for the reply and well done for getting an unconditional offer! I heard that it is one of the best PR courses in the uk too! Perhaps once you've started you can let me know what it's like, I would be really grateful! Do you know how competitive the course is and what's the reason for getting an unconditional offer? did you have to go to an interview? thanks again x

Thank you! I will do. I didn't have to go to an interview. I was studying an HNC in Advertising & PR (have now dropped out since I don't need to complete it) and already have 4 Highers at grades AAAB. My friend got a conditional offer for the same course and he is studying the HNC with no formal highers, so I'm assuming it's already having the highers that got me an unconditional. x

Sorry this might be a bit of a stupid question but what is a HNC? I'm currently studying a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Performing Arts so I hope that will be enough to get me on the course? I don't really have any experience in PR but I have a Distinction* in Media Production, (gcse level), but I know a lot about the subject and I think it sounds really interesting and would love a career in PR!

(Sorry again for all the questions!)

Sorry, it's a Scottish qualification! It's essentially equivalent to 1st year of uni up here since we do 4 years. But I managed to get an offer to start in 2nd year in Greenwich, so I think different unis must view it differently. You could email the BU team to ask about your BTEC, they've been really helpful with my inquiries so far. x

That's okay! Ah okay I see! I'll try emailing them then Do you have the email address? :P Thank you! You've been really helpful x

Hey, I have a few friends doing PR and they are all loving it! From things I've heard them say you do a lot of marketing ( they join you with the marketing lot so you have the same lectures ) and you do finance as well and campaign promotions and so on.. And some advertising and some essay she said but that's about as much help as I can be .. Bournemouth is great.. Halls ... All banging but it depends on what type of person you are ... Purbeck (my halls) is the mad one, parties non stop... But the walls are thin as hell and if you want a quiet night chances are u won't be getting one.. Lyme is also good parties n that but bit chilled than Purbeck ... All the other halls are quiet .. But the worst one is the student village .. Hope that helps xx

There's no easy or hard, as long as you apply straight after receiving your unconditional offer you should be fine, but don't wait at all do it the same day! Dorchester is a lot bigger, double beds, sensor lights, leather sofas, but always have power cuts, no hot water n that... Purbeck has never had that problem ..

Ah well you should be alright then if you want somewhere quiet and close to Uni the village is the place. Although Chesil is my personal favourite would have definitely been my top choice if I had seen them all, so cosy and homey, and you get huge rooms, my friend pays the same as me but he got a studio! Huge room like a mini flat so nice! And it's quiet .. And you get the benefits of partying and that cause Purbeck is opposite xx

Is Dorchester a quiet halls? I want a party atmosphere halls but I also want those days when I can sit in my room and just do work in a quiet atmosphere but I don't want to be bored. I was thinking of putting Dorchester first and I'm debating between Cranbourne (because I heard it's being refurbished) and Purbeck as my 2nd choice of halls.

Hiya everyone! Been looking everywhere for this lol! I'm also looking to study public relations in bournemouth next year, but I'm from ireland so I'm like really nervous about coming over to England for the first time. I should be ok lol, shouldn't I? also amazing to hear that it's one of the best PR courses in the UK. Is that actually true?
