Learning Matters Blog Post: Public Relations in Practice: real-world student assessment

Description

This blog post, for Ulster University's Learning Matters Blog, was written on my experiences in collaborating with the Science Shop since 2017 - to to give students access to real-world Public Relations assessment exercises. The Science Shop “provides community and voluntary groups across Northern Ireland with access to research and information resources at the University”, and collaborating with it has allowed students on the MSc Communication and Public Relations to work with a range of charities and community organisations. Organisations that we have worked with include the National Autistic Society Northern Ireland, Cancer Focus Northern Ireland, and The Fostering Network.
