  • About The Program

    The Master of Arts in Mass Communication (MAMC) is a 2-year postgraduate programme offered by the Birla School of Communication. The programme is designed to develop creative, analytical, and industry-ready communication professionals through a balanced blend of theory, practice, and technology-enabled learning. It integrates journalism, audio-visual production, digital media, storytelling, and contemporary communication practices into a cohesive curriculum.
