Program Overview

Program Overview

The Master of Organisational Communication course is accredited by the Public Relations Association of Australia (PRIA). Accreditation reflects the PRIA's approval of the course content and learning for the practice of public relations.

Accreditation

The Master of Organisational Communication course was accredited by the PRIA in late 2009 for 5 years. The School of Communication and Creative Industries has placed considerable importance on PRIA accreditation since its accreditation program started in the early 1990s as it provides a benchmark for the PR industry's expectations of courses and graduates. The new Master of Communication (Organisational Communication) will seek reaccreditation in 2015.

Professional Practice

Professional organisational communicators are diverse in their practice and background. There is no single accrediting body, and no license or membership requirement to practice as a professional communicator. Public relations is not a licensed profession, but it does have an active peak body with more than 3000 members, the Public Relations Association of Australia (PRIA).
