The department offers B.A. (Honours) in Media & Communication, M.A. in Journalism and Ph.D. in Journalism and Mass Communication. The department can play its role as a gateway to the exciting and evolving world of journalism. The department has a practical approach and it teaches one to think like a journalist and analyze and critique the news media. The department introduces one to basic writing, reporting, interviewing and editing skills and habits.
At a time when information is assuming the primordial role in the global order of things, a B.A. (Honours) in Media & Communication is just the right qualification to make it big in the professional arena. While the world of media continues to grow at an exponential rate, the number of skilled professionals remains abnormally abysmal. This is where this programme comes really handy. It equips the learners with all the essential media skills to meet the needs of the industry. This programme is comprehensive in nature and includes all the important subjects that come under the broader purview of communication. With the world taking a multimedia turn, this programme primarily focuses on multimedia and orients learners to the newer technologies. Storytelling has become the primary skill in the world of media and this programme teaches learners the various intricacies about telling stories. If there is one singular issue that is afflicting the world of media today, it is the absence of ethics among media professionals. This programme takes that into stride and ensures that media ethics is another aspect that it emphasizes on. However, what distinguishes this programme is its decided focus on creating entrepreneurs. This programme ensures that not only are the learners equipped to handle jobs, they are equipped to start their own ventures as well. The learners have the leeway to pick up their specializations in the final year of the programme. They can either pick up Journalism or they can pick up Entertainment Media or they can pick up Communication Management depending on their preferences. However, during the first two years of the programme, the learners are introduced to all the different aspects of the communication process. With industry stalwarts and renowned academicians as faculty members, the programme has the right ingredients to train future media professionals – youngsters who can make the much-needed difference. People, who have the right social skills, are affirmatively extrovert and have the gift of the gab, would find this programme exhilarating and rewarding. Anyone who wants to be a part of the exponentially growing Indian media must enroll for this programme and see the difference in no time.
The programme consists of a heady mix of diverse subjects that enhance the collective intellect of all the learners.

Someone rightly remarked that information is power. Indeed so! In the immensely changed global socio-economic paradigm, the field of journalism has assumed the role of the eternal information broker, the one profession that feeds people the all-important data to be powerful. On a more practical note, journalism is that area under media studies that acts as the fourth estate of the democracy. With the unprecedented growth of Indian media, as noted in a recent FICCI Frames report, opportunities in journalism appear to be skyrocketing. In the given circumstances, the M.A. Programme in Journalism, offered by the prestigious Adamas University in Kolkata, inculcates among learners the right set of skills that are required to excel in the industry. With a decided multimedia focus, the programme has been devised to ensure the all-round development of aspiring journalists. With convergence being the latest buzzword in journalism, the learners of M.A. in Journalism are trained for all the different media platforms including but not limited to print media, television, radio and most importantly new media. While the learners are adequately oriented to the legacy media platforms, the focus is primarily on digital media. However, the USP of the programme is its focus on Mobile Journalism or MoJo, as it is popularly known. While teaching journalism, the programme makes a dedicated attempt at infusing the right ethical considerations among the learners, something that has been missing from the current crop of young journalists. The programme also emphasizes on making the learners understand the business and economic aspects of running a journalistic organization. With industry stalwarts and renowned academicians as faculty members, the platform-agnostic programme has the right ingredients to train future journalists – youngsters who can make the much-needed difference to the profession. People, who have the right social skills, are affirmatively extrovert, have the gift of the gab and have the innate nose for news would find this programme exhilarating and rewarding. Anyone who wants to be a part of the exponentially growing Indian media must enroll for this programme and see the difference in no time.
