The Asian Institute of Journalism and Communication (AIJC), in collaboration with the Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP), launched the Master in Communication, Major in Public Relations and Corporate Communication program. The program is the first professional master’s program in communication and the first to focus explicitly on public relations and corporate communication within a structured academe-industry learning framework.
Designed for professionals in public relations, marketing communication, and related fields, the program offers a practice-oriented curriculum that integrates theoretical foundations with real-world application. It is structured to be completed in 15 months and requires the completion of 30 academic units, including a three-unit capstone or practice-based project.
The capstone or practice-based project allows students to develop and present applied work such as evidence-based public relations plans, research-informed PR tools, evaluations of PR campaigns, mobile applications for PR campaigns, and comprehensive PR and marketing communication training designs, among others.
This program is designed to strengthen professional practice by integrating academic rigor with industry engagement. It provides practitioners with the strategic and analytical skills required to meet the evolving demands of public relations and corporate communication practice.
