    The module is designed to enhance students’ skills in the use of online media. It is split between two main assessments, one focused on research and development, the other on online media practice. For their practical assessment, students have to create an individual media project that sets out to use the potentials of the net and new media technologies in an informed and innovative way. Students will be able to focus on PR, advertising and/or journalism but will be expected to display an understanding of all these disciplines. For the more conceptual assessment, students have to do research and development work, coming up with an idea for an innovative online media product/strategy which they then sell via a short presentation. Students on this module are also required to keep a log documenting the work they do on their assessments. At the end of the module, they draw on the notes kept on their blog for a summary critical report, which evaluates the work done on the module and summarises the main things learnt.

Optional accredited internship

Optional Accredited Internship (London or International)
The Internship Programme at Richmond integrates industry knowledge with real working experience. Students will be challenged to relate course projects to the workplace, make contacts which may prove valuable to their future employment prospects, and gain confidence in their capabilities, creativity and communication skills. Internships are designed to be both demanding and rewarding. The internship will provide an opportunity to better understand the marketplace, using the skills learned on courses in a real-world setting, as students produce an assessed record of their experiences.

A broad education of this kind equips graduates for a wide range of careers internationally, while enabling them to develop specialist expertise in areas of particular interest.

Optional Accredited USA Internship (additional cost)
Students interested in gaining work experience in the USA during their last semester and wishing for help to secure a placement can be linked up to Richmond’s partner GCC (Global Career Center).

This organization will offer students comprehensive career training, find them a placement with a hosting company related to their field of studies in the USA and provide all the necessary support to students with their J1 visa application.

This optional internship will incur an additional cost of $3500 (£2600) which will cover: the J1 visa application, site visit and insurance costs ($1820), GCC’s continuous training as well as finding a placement.

The initial cost to start the coaching and training part of the programme is $1,000 and the rest of the fee is only paid once the internship has been confirmed by the host organisation/company and validated by RAIUL’s International Internship Coordinator.

An official certificate of completion will be awarded to every student having successfully completed the programme.

What our students say

“My time spent at Richmond was much different from my previous university in the sense that it was much more hands-on. The University enabled me to experience PR and advertising first-hand, through their internship programme.

Throughout my internship, I had regular contact with my University mentor, who always helped to point me in the right direction. I feel as though the inclusion of an internship programme in the degree had a hugely positive impact on my study at Richmond, as I was truly able to put all the theory they had taught me over the years into practice.

Lastly, the combination of both a US and UK degree was a privilege as I had always hoped to perhaps work in the US one day and with this double accredited degree, this would be much easier to accomplish now.

Klaudia FiorAdvertising & PR - MA

“The MA Advertising & PR course means I will carry into my professional career a new level of balance, discipline, adaptability, and organisational skills for a successful future.”

Tomika PowellMarketing & PR - BA (Hons) and Advertising & PR - MA

“I decided to study my MA at Richmond as I only wanted to pursue a postgraduate degree if it was practical and relevant to my career, so Richmond was a perfect fit for me.

I’ve really enjoyed writing press releases, creating advertising and PR plans and even presenting, which was scary initially but we did so many presentations throughout the year that by the end, I was really comfortable with it.

I was very fortunate as I did a summer internship with a PR agency who specialise in healthy food and drink and natural beauty brands, where I was able to put what I learned at Richmond to use. Shortly after, they offered me a permanent position as a Junior Account Executive, so it’s worked out brilliantly.”

Richmond Theatre Society

We know how stressful uni can be– with countless hours of work to do it, occasionally you just need to let out some steam. Through exciting activities and events we encourage students to de-stress while developing teamwork and problem solving skills and most importantly having fun!

Some of our notable events include movie/musical nights, themed events and weekly Karaoke nights.

Since the start of the pandemic, the Theatre and performing arts industry has taken a heavy toll so starting this year, we aim to host a variety of fund-raising events in which part will be donated to the West End Theatre Support fund.
