Ph.D. in Mass communication

The School of Journalism and Mass Communication offers Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Mass Communication through which it contributes to extensive research & innovation in media studies & allied disciplines.

Media Studies addresses the role of media in arts, culture, society and politics, within our historical as well as local, regional, national and global contexts. The Ph.D. course helps the researcher to resolve issues or find a solution or an alternative through theoretical, historical critical and practical framework and provides a direction which is realistic or measurable.

The field of Mass Communication and Journalism requires researchers to find or create new knowledge and relay it to the public through newspaper, scholarly work or radio and television broadcasting apart from other new age technologies. The research may be applied, theoretical, interdisciplinary or practice based.

The Ph.D. in Mass Communication offers an opportunity for research into the main questions related to the field of Mass Communication and Journalism and a vocation for providing a systematic and critical framework for thinking about issues concerning our global world.

The goals of this programme are to give a platform to the capable researchers to take part in the current social and international debates, whether in universities and research institutes or areas of public or private management of communication and culture.
