Is it true that the Academy has European and International links?
The Academy, through our director, holds active membership of the NUJ (National Union of Journalists), CERP (The European Confederation of Public Relations Practitioners) and EUPRERA (the PR Education and Research body). Our director is a Fellow of the PRII (Public Relations Institute of Ireland), and a former national chairperson (Ireland) of IPRA (International Public Relations Association). The C4EE (Centre for Excellence in Events) validates our Diploma in Event Management course and our students hold membership of NEO (the Network of Event Managers in Ireland). Through its membership of each of these bodies, the Academy makes available to students a European and international perspective on public relations and journalism, and access to best practice and gold papers issued by these professional associations.
