Media Relations

The Media Relations team promotes the University, its staff, and their work to the wider public through the media. We are the public face of the University and are responsible for protecting and enhancing the University’s reputation.

We draft media releases, record podcasts, take pictures and produce statements. We also offer advice on how you should approach interviews with journalists to ensure you get your message across accurately, concisely and with impact.
