After the first week of knowledge, lessons have slowly become more intense.
As the days passed the more you felt the desire of students to discover and get in contact as much as possible with the mysterious Public relations business.
Every day we discovered something new, something that personally made me realize that this was and is the right solution for me, I would have conquered and enjoyed every single lecture.
Not being initially confident with the new world of the University, each step passed seemed a victory, a goal achieved.
During the first three months, the subjects to be followed were Media & Cultural Landscape, Understanding organisation, foundation of PR and Studying in Higher Education.
In the first issue we’ve both discovered the historical origin of PR, born in America from Edward Bernays, but we also treated the impact and the influence of technology in today’s world;in the second we discovered tools that a PR uses to improve its role, we also learned about the relationship between PR and customer, whether is company or private clients, analysing the strengths and weakness, we also analysed the way in which a company gives to the media and how the media interpret this the same; in the third subject, we analysed the role of PR in 360°, discovering who he is, its role in the world, and how the profession is seen. And finally in studying in Higher education, we have learned to use the various tools that we have used over the years as Harvard University Reference method.
The first assessment was group presentation, which I was very scared of, because I am not native English speaker; I had a little fear in take to University world with an oral presentation. But I can say that my expectations were from far exceeded by the outcome.
Although it is just passed few months from the beginning, I can say that I am now much more confident with what is happening. With the assessment to prepare, with the timeline and also with friends … and everybody knows that friends are the center of university life 🙂
