Welcome to the Centre for Public Relations Studies (CPRS) website. We offer a rare combination of skills, delivering market leading research, consultancy and training to the communication industry by drawing on the latest thinking, innovation and best practice. We seek to empower practitioners through strategic insight and thought leadership.

Our activities include:

• Education and training, including the development and delivery of externally accredited programmes for senior communicators
• Strategic communication consultancy, including structures and processes as well as communication as a Board level activity
• The evaluation of campaigns and practices
• Mentoring and coaching (the latter is also an area of organisational expertise for Leeds Met)
• Bespoke, tailored research
• Academic research

Working with organisations in both the UK and abroad also means that the team brings a truly international perspective to every client brief.

Ultimately, the Centre's aim is to provide leading-edge expertise that enables client organisations and their people to share contemporary best practice in communications. To deliver this, the team is able to work on an individual or group basis with practitioners, Chief Executives and other senior managers.
