History

The Department has been running graduate programmes in Communication and Media Studies since its establishment in 2007. In addition to reviewing the content and structure of the existing graduate programme, the Department proposed to introduce a B.A in Communication Studies Programme to begin from the 2018/2019 academic year. The undergraduate programme will consist of three main areas of specialization or focus. They include Strategic Communication, Development Communication and Journalism.
