Hearty Welcome to the Department of Media Studies and
Journalism of the World University of Bangladesh (WUB).
The purpose of Media Studies and Journalism education
is more than understanding theory and practice, though media professionals’
skill development and their capacity building are essential in the present age.
Its purpose should go beyond these things. The ultimate purpose of Media
Studies and Journalism education should be to impart practical and hands-on
knowledge and learning in the discipline, in conjunction with a brief knowledge
of related social sciences.
Media Studies and Journalism, being a multi-faceted
discipline and multi-pronged profession, requires planned, deliberate, and
specialized education and training in a variety of subjects. The discipline has
recently emerged with a multi-disciplinary approach.
The Bachelor of Media Studies and Journalism program
at the WUB provides an in-depth education, training, and research opportunity
to students willing and able to undertake the rigors of both academic and
industrial learning in the profession.
WUB’s Department of Media Studies and Journalism,
being a Centre of Academic Excellence, aims to impart
theoretical, practical, and hands-on knowledge in the
discipline, to build a band of conscious, committed, competitive,
courageous, and compassionate media professionals and nation builders.
I once again welcome
the prospective students, media managers, and guardians to visit the
Department.
