Public Relations dilemma.

So, here's my predictions:

English Language - A
Psychology - A
Drama and Theatre Studies - A
English Literature - C :rolleyes:

General Studies - B

Before this, I was considering doing Law at Universities and obviously I had the oppertunity to apply for Russell Group Universities.

However, after doing more research and thinking, discussions with various people in both professions. (Uncle is a solicitor - Cousin is in PR) I have changed my mind and therefore feel as if I would like to go into Public Relations.

Here's the dilemma, there seems to be no, so to speak, 'prestigious' universities that have this course. My better options are ex-polys of UCLAN and Bournmouth University, which are relatively low in recent table rankings.
Therefore not having much of a reputation.

So, this seems quite a risky move if I decide halfway through the PR degree that this career is not for me, because I will not only have such a narrow degree that cannot really be generalised to much else other than say, marketing or a media analyst, but from a University with a lesser of a reputation, especially when I could have grades that potentially could get me into the Russells.

So what are your opinions on this? What would you do in my situation?

Getting into public relations has absolutely nothing to do with doing a degree in it. Do a degree in something you are comfortable with be it law or anything else, and worry about it afterwards.

I agree with Ice_Cube. Do a degree in something your interested in and at a 'good' university. This will keep your options open. Afterwards you can still choose to do law if you wish to (with the GDL then LPC) or PR.

you should do which course you want to do, not what you feel you should do, it is your life. universities that offer PR, which can be taken as a joint or single that I've looked into (wanting to take PR and Marketing at UCLAN) are huddersfield, Leeds Met, Manchester Met and Gloucestershire
