Deakin provided me with the theory, practical skills and industry contacts to enter the workplace as soon as I graduated. My lecturers were always willing to go above and beyond to help in any way they could and were a great influence in helping me land my first role in Public Relations. The compulsory internship unit was key to getting my foot in the door of the PR industry and provided me with crucial on-the-ground experience of what a graduate PR role might be like.
