CIPR Diploma

CIPR Post Graduate Diploma

The CIPR Post Graduate Diploma can be studied at our Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Guildford, or Nottingham Study Centres.

The Diploma is for experienced professionals or those without an PR specific qualification.

Students examine case histories and will be given the opportunity to consider them with practitioners in workshops and by reference to recommended texts for more theoretical analysis. Students build case histories and find evidence for practical examples from a wide range of daily newspapers, the broadcast media, magazines, journals and specialist publications. They also create a diary of their professional development which they can carry forward throughout their working lives

The Diploma provides an understanding of the strategic roles and management functions of public relations and provides advanced capability in management and practice. The Course is taught over seven saturday sessions over 8 months.

The Course covers :

Strategic management; ethics; legal framework; and corporate PR including sponsorship; and Public relations research and planning. The course is assessed through a written exam, assignment and three-month project.

CIPR President Elisabeth Lewis-Jones

The students and teachers of the CIPR Diploma at Cambridge Marketing College are to be congratulated. A 90%+ pass rate is a real achievement and testament to everyone's hard work and the quality of the teaching and students. The pass rates are good for the professional credibility of the students and the course centres. And the fact that there are now more proven strategic and skilled PR practitioners out there will benefit both the PR industry and its users.

Congratulations once again from all at the CIPR.

Delegate Comment

If anybody ever questions the value of PR theory, please let them know that after only two sessions of the CIPR Diploma I was able to use it at a job interview to justify the creation of a PR (rather than a marketing) position at one of the UK’s biggest wealth management firms and to argue that the best person to do it would be me.

Thanks to the CIPR diploma, and therefore thanks to you, my salary has just jumped considerably and my future career prospects are better than I had ever hoped. I start work on Tuesday. Thank you!

The College fee for this course is £1400 + VAT = £1645 . Plus a one off Carriage fee of £30 for UK . You will also need to budget for the CIPR membership and assessment fees of £950 (no VAT)
