About Us

The Department of Journalism and Mass Communication at Vishwakarma University, Pune, was set up in 2017 following UGC instructions and currently runs two full-time courses: a three year Bachelors in Journalism and Mass Communication and a two year Masters in Journalism and Mass Communication. The journalism curriculum is largely based on the syllabus recommended by UNESCO to provide strong academic and professional foundations.

At the undergraduate level, students can specialise in Journalism, Advertising, and New Media, whereas the postgraduate programme allows the choice of specialisations in Journalism, Advertising, and Media Production. The department also supports extracurricular learning through a state-of-the-art audio-visual studio, which helps students acquire media skills that the industry demands.
