Introduction to Program: |
Currently, the field of journalism is experiencing a shift towards digital platforms such as the internet,
mobile devices, data journalism and other emerging technologies. This change is leading to a
transformation in how journalism is practiced and necessitating the development of new skills, techniques,
and approaches by practitioners. As a result, contemporary journalists must fulfill a variety of roles,
requiring not only a solid grasp of emerging social trends but also specialized expertise and knowledge. By
enrolling in this programme, aspiring digital journalists will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges
associated with journalism in the Digital Age, which will prepare them to succeed in the rapidly-evolving
media industry.
During the first and second semesters, the focus is on helping students understand the role of Journalism
within the broader context of social sciences such as political science, economics, and sociology. They will
receive training in writing and develop their skills in reporting and editing to be successful in the field of
written communication. In the third semester students are introduced to the nuances of the constitution and
politics. Special emphasis is given in the fourth semester to the field of multimedia production, on-field
experience and also the first hand understanding of social issues through service learning. The third year
provides the budding journalist with the knowledge of digital journalism, media research and so on. In the
final year, students will expose themselves to media psychology, solutions journalism and environmental
journalism along with independent research projects.
Practical elements such as lab journals, workshops, seminars, campaigns, or news productions are
incorporated to support each paper. Additionally, students will be required to gain skills in editing software.
The Journalism & Digital Media programme includes sixteen core papers that cover a diverse range of
topics in the field of journalism. There are skill enhancement courses related to writing and reporting.
Starting from the sixth semester, students will have the opportunity to choose three electives to specialize
in. In order to gain practical experience, an internship is mandatory for students at the end of the second
semester. The theory courses aim to provide students with a broad understanding of the field, while the
practical and skill-based courses will equip them for the job. Having a comprehensive knowledge of various
subjects helps journalists gain perspective and write intelligently in the proper context for the general
readership. The Department of Media Studies will leverage the expertise of professionals from different
fields to provide students with the best possible exposure. Experienced journalists will also be invited to
participate in events like "Feel the Beat" to share their knowledge and expertise. Students of journalism will
be expected to regularly produce lab journals and from the fourth semester onwards, they will be
responsible for creating a newspaper, television news bulletin, and digital publication. |

Course Objectives/Course Description |
|
Academic Skills are a blend of theoretical ability to recognize the nuances of language aspects and hands-on training to exercise the acquired knowledge in reasoning, reading and writing. Academic Skills focus on developing research skills through careful reading and critical writing that are considered foundational and crucial in textual scholarship and knowledge production. The participants of this course will determine their areas of interest in conceptualizing their seminal work and constructing a reasoned argument. This course prompts the participants to take their learning-receptive skills and productive skills in a purpose-driven and practice-oriented mode on a contextual basis.
The course deals with receptive skills (reading) and productive skills (writing). In fact listening and speaking skills are not directly involved but act as a higher cognitive process. This course facilitates the participants with varied practices, tasks, exemplars, sample papers to practice with context-driven reading material. It runs for one full academic year with specific learning outcomes which are two-fold – conceptual grasp and textual application. The whole course and its structure involve Bloom’s taxonomy of knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, evaluation and synthesis.
Objectives
To enable the learner
• acquire higher order receptive and productive skills
• develop reading skills at the higher education level
• be aware of functional grammar to improve research writing skills
• grasp and apply the mechanics in academic writing skills
• use study skills for research-based knowledge dissemination (writing a paper or presentation)

Course Objectives/Course Description |

Course Description: Understanding close relationships is among the central goals of social psychology. Close relationships range from family ties to friendships to romantic and sexual relationships. Our main purpose will be on learning about the life cycle of adult intimate (i.e., romantic) relationships, ranging from stages of initial attraction and relationship initiation to growth and maintenance of the relationship, and in some cases, dissolution. Although other close relationships such as close friendships, family, and work relationships will also be addressed and integrated into the course, they will be of secondary importance. Class meetings will consist mainly of facilitated discussions and student-led presentations on topics such as the biological bases of attraction and love, commitment and interdependence, relationship cognition, attachment, communication, sexuality, relational interaction patterns, relationship satisfaction, and the social context of relationships (e.g., the influence of others) conflict, relationship dissolution, and relationship maintenance.
CO1: Understand the major concepts and models of interpersonal relationships.
