Current student, APM College of Business and Communication, Bachelor of Business (Public Relations).

There were many things that attracted me to APM – the accelerated course structure, on internship placement within the public relations industry, and the fact that students are taught by practicing industry professionals.

I really appreciated the way the college offered students great opportunities to network and make valuable contacts. Plus the fact that the college is strongly linked to the Public Relations Institute of Australia – that was extremely important to me.

I want to complete my APM College degree and ultimately gain my Masters in Communications. Long-term I see myself running my own consultancy. Anything is possible with an APM qualification!
