Equipped with the state-of-the-art facilities and a crop of seasoned instructors drawn from both academic and professional media conglomerates, the Department offers a unique learning experience in a serene environment. You are therefore expected to prepare for very serious academic and hands-on practical components that will enable you to transit seamlessly into the Media and Communication industry in this fast paced 21stcentury digital world. We lay strong emphasis on academic excellence; however, we also encourage extra-curricular activities so as to ensure a balanced and well-rounded education. In order to inculcate in all our students, a sense of professional consciousness and seriousness, the department has enforced an all-corporate dress code; by this, we intend to produce graduates who can stand their professional ground anywhere in the media/corporate world with the Arthur Jarvis University Advantage.
