BS Mass Communication – National University of Modern Languages

BS Mass Communication at the National University of Modern Languages is a four-year undergraduate degree in the Faculty of Social Sciences, offered at the Lahore and Karachi campuses, with the equivalent BS Media and Communication Studies at Islamabad, Hyderabad and Rawalpindi.

Program Overview

NUML lists this program as BS Mass Communication at the Lahore and Karachi campuses and as BS Media and Communication Studies at Islamabad, Hyderabad and Rawalpindi. Either way the degree covers news writing and reporting, broadcast and digital journalism, public relations, advertising, media law and ethics, communication theory, research methods and production work in radio, television and online media. Practical labs and a final project give students a portfolio before they graduate.

It suits students who write well, follow current affairs, and are drawn to television, digital content, advertising or corporate communication. NUML’s language departments are a bonus for anyone who wants to report or produce content in a second language.

Career Scope in Pakistan

Media graduates in Pakistan work in television news channels, radio, newspapers and digital news outlets, in the advertising and PR agencies of Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad, and increasingly in the content and social-media teams of ordinary companies, NGOs and government departments. Skills in video editing, scriptwriting, podcasting and analytics make graduates far more employable than the degree alone, and many run their own YouTube or freelance content businesses alongside a job.
