Marcomms and PR short courses

I am sure there must be evening classes on such things - could try the City Lit in London - there is a book that comes out of all London evening classes but its name escapes me - I am sure a bit of Googling will turn something up. There is also an organisation called the Directory of Social Change that does courses and books for not for profit organisations on such skills - they may be able to help. Just a couple of quick thoughts - Sallie

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Marcomms and PR short courses

Can anyone offer advice please.

Does anyone know of courses in PR, marketing communications, and the like that can be taken by an undergraduate AT THE SAME TIME AS UNDERTAKING THEIR UNDERGRADUATE STUDY - so vacation courses, distance learning, weekends and the like.

I'm interested in learning about general business, marketing and PR comms training - not just science communications (although interested to learn of courses there too)

I do not need info on full or part-time PR first degrees or on postgraduate courses - either general or sci-comms related.

All of the commercially available short courses are run for people already in employment and the entry criteria for things like the CIPR advanced certificate or the CAM diploma specify that prospective students must already have a first degree.

Any ideas or info very gratefully received

Thanks - Dianne
