B.Sc. in Mass Communication
At the School of Media and Communication (SMC) we aspire to be the hub of learning in media and communication in the African continent. Here, creativity meets enterprise and theory meets practice. Welcome to the field that shapes the way we live in our world today.
Since its inception in 2006 (as the Centre for Media and Communication), the SMC has been on a journey that has led us to redefine programming in the media and communication landscape in our country. Starting with the Certificate in Media Enterprise (CME) and Advanced Writing and Reporting Skills (AWARES), we are transforming media education in the country. Going at a breathtaking pace, we started the M.Sc. in Media and Communication two years after we were born and soon after, the PGD programmes in such innovative fields as Marketing Communications, Media Enterprise, Design and Digital Media, Community Relations and Multimedia Journalism.
Early in 2014, we began our PhD in Media and Communication and in November 2014, a B.Sc. in Mass Communication.
