Leeds Town Hall (Reinhold Behringer)
This site began in 2010 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the undergraduate degree in public relations at Leeds Metropolitan University.
In early 2012 its focus turned to the postgraduate and professional public relations courses offered by the university.
We profile students and graduates from our courses as well as those who teach, and we discuss current issues facing the public relations business.
To contribute your profile or your photos, please contact Richard Bailey (R.S.Bailey@leedsmet.ac.uk).
I am also keen to hear from students willing to research and write profiles for the site.

What a brilliant website! It is so interesting to read the profiles of graduates and how well they have suceeded in their PR careers.
I’m currently in my final year at the University studying for my PR degree. As I am sure you can all remember one of the requirements is to produce a Dissertation.
The focus of my Dissertation is how the PR under-graduate degree from Leeds Metropolitan University equips graduates with the necessary skills to succeed in their first PR roles. I am hoping to interview PR graduates who graduated in the last five years, and have worked in PR since their time at University.
I would love to hear from you, if you are interested in taking part, please email me on sophie_mack@hotmail.com
Kind Regards,
Sophie McManus
