Department of Communication Studies, University of Sargodha
The Department of Communication Studies was established in 2003. It aims at equipping students with theoretical knowledge and comprehensive understanding of media production. The media industry now totally depends upon digital technology for capturing, processing, transmitting, storing and outpouring the images, texts and sounds that they communicate. Media courses at University of Sargodha have been designed to meet national and international development needs. In Communication Studies, students will attend lectures as well as individual work, group work, field and production work, investigative research activities and work involving communities and organizations. They will have opportunities to exhibit their work both on and off campus and will have access to a range of further learning activities, media productions, journals and logbooks. Their activities include like presentations, preparation and production of programs, evaluation reports, field work and reports. The department consists of senior and young faculty members and quests for creating research oriented approach among the young faculty members and particularly the students. The department has a very rich library. A fair number of valuable texts and reference books covering almost all major subjects of communication studies have been procured to facilitate the students and the faculty. The Department has started MPhil and MPhil leading to PhD Programmes in Mass Communication from Session 2007-08.
