Lecture Room 5

 Under the guidance of a member of staff, the student will prepare a paper on some topic relevant to one or more of the courses in the programme.  The paper is meant to introduce the student to the technical aspects of research and to help the student to present the results of such research in a scholarly manner.  

The course seeks to equip students with the skills of analysis so they can interpret  issues  in  the  news  and  be  able  to  write  about  them  through commentary, editorials, and other forms of expressive writing from an informed perspective and in compelling style  

The course is an introduction to the field of communication. Students learn about: the development of communication research; the communication process and functions; communication theories and models; the nature, uses, and effects of communication; the application of communication in a variety of professional and practical contexts such as public relations, corporate communications, public affairs, advertising, marketing communication, social marketing, and advocacy  

The course is an introduction to the field of journalism.
