Welcome to the field.

Mass communication.hmmm!!! First of all, you have to throw aside the illusion that the course is about Being a news presenter or a reporter of one newspaper. No, Mass communication is more broader than that, journalism is just a branch of its. The course entails public relations, advertising, film production, script writing, acting and all other professions that deal with communication.

In your first year, you will do mostly introductory courses like intro to mass comm, history of mass media, writing for mass, african comm system and some others. Your second year will be about principles i.e principles of advertising, public relations, development journalism, broadcast and also, theories of communication and others.

Third and fourth year entail going more deep into the course. You will be exposed to real life issues in mass media, advanced topics in PR, advert, broadcasting etc. You may be taken to studio at the second year but proper studio management starts from Third year.

At least, by the time you get to 300level, you should be tagged communication engineer, guru or expert because you would have gained indepth knowledge of the field of study.However, what i noticed about the course is that, you need to be very creative, i mean creativity speaks alot in mass communication. Both in reading and answering exam questions, creativity also matter. You also have to be good in cramming, but try to understand what you are reading. Both go hand in hand.

Last bullet: You can never, i mean NEVER, practice Mass Communication.
