Curriculum Overview

The BA syllabus builds gradually: early semesters cover core concepts, while later semesters concentrate on Journalism & Mass Communication-specific application. Core and elective areas include Principles of Journalism, News Writing & Editing, Mass Communication Theory, Media Laws & Ethics, taught through recorded lectures, downloadable study material, practical assignments and periodic contact sessions. Learners submit assignments and appear for term-end examinations that test both conceptual understanding and applied problem-solving. Undergraduate learners build up from foundational concepts before moving into applied, specialization-specific coursework.

Learning Outcomes

  • By the end of the BA programme, learners are expected to: apply core Journalism & Mass Communication concepts to real workplace problems
  • demonstrate proficiency in news writing and reporting and media research
  • build competence in editing and interview and investigation techniques
  • and present findings or deliverables in a clear, professional format suitable for the workplace. These outcomes are pitched at building a strong entry-level skill base.
