MPhil Mass Communication

The MPhil Mass Communication (Theory & Research Track) is a two-year evening program aimed both at students continuing their education as well as in-service media practitioners who want to upgrade their qualification. One of the main objectives of our MPhil program is to let students develop a deeper understanding of the functioning of mass media and communication processes in both local and global contexts. Our theory and research-based training will prepare learners not only to pursue their higher studies trajectory but will also train them to be better media persons in case they decide to join the media industry as a career option. In this sense, our program is aligned with FCCU’s mission to create informed, responsible, and learned individuals who can work for society by following the FCCU’s motto: ‘By Love Serve One Another.’ The MPhil program in Mass Communication aims to uphold FCCU’s rich legacy of research and quality teaching.
