BS Journalism and Mass Communication

BS Journalism and Mass Communication is a four-year undergraduate degree combining journalism practice with the broader study of media and communication.

What You’ll Study

Coursework covers news reporting and editing, broadcast journalism, digital and online journalism, communication theory, media law and ethics, photojournalism and videography, advertising and public relations, and media research.

Career Scope in Pakistan

Graduates work in news organisations across print, television and digital, broadcast production, digital content and social media, advertising and public relations, corporate communications, and development sector communications.

Two honest observations about journalism specifically in Pakistan. Traditional newsroom employment has contracted as advertising moved to digital platforms, and pay in entry-level reporting is modest. And press freedom conditions affect what journalism is practicable — students should understand the working environment realistically. The compensating shift is that digital content, video production and communications roles have expanded considerably, and graduates with production and analytics skills have more options than those trained only for print reporting.
