Press and Public Relations

Welcome to the Press and Public Relations Office

The Press and PR Office is responsible for a range of activities designed to promote the strengths and achievements of the University. This includes media relations, event management, internal communications, speech writing, the production of important public documents like the annual report, and ad hoc activities like devising competition entries. The Press and PR Office also advises senior management on the public presentation of policy.

Services

External Communication
The University encourages the interest of the media, proactively through the regular issue of press releases and reactively through an 'experts service'. A directory of expertise, Who Can Speak on What is published biannually listing University staff willing and able to comment on particular issues. The Press and PR Office produces a weekly media report, detailing the University's media coverage.
Internal Communication
An email newsletter called News in Brief is sent to all staff and University associates twice a month. It reports on the major decisions made by University committees, other news of interest to the majority of staff and a listing of events. A full colour 24 page magazine, University News, is produced twice a year and sent to all staff and alumni. The Press and PR Office also sends other ad hoc information to staff on behalf of senior management via email or letter. Major announcements are also placed on the University home page.
Events
The Events team is responsible for organising a range of events aimed at helping the University make and maintain contact with important stakeholders. These range from small dinners to major public events involving a thousand or more people. Regular events include the Shaping the Future lectures which attract an external, as well as an internal, audience. They are usually given by major public figures who come to Exeter to talk about current issues in their field. An events listing is maintained and accessible from the University's home page.
