Develop the skills and knowledge needed to be a leader in the media industry
The one-year programme begins with an intensive three-month session of foundational classes that prepare students for their future careers in the media. These classes, taught by international media professionals and academics, help students quickly develop the essential skills that media practitioners require. They also introduce the fundamental concepts needed to understand the media industry, its history, and its future. Out-of-class assignments and weekly excursions in and around Delhi supplement these studies.

Build a professional portfolio while you complete your diploma
Upon completion of the three-month term, students start interning with a media company, where they gain on-the-job professional training five days a week while they continue their formal education in classes held every Saturday. For the remaining three-month session of the programme, students can test out and apply the ideas and skills that they have learned in class to real-life situations, and at the same time, reflect upon their professional experiences with teachers, mentors and one another in the classroom.

By integrating the experiential learning that students receive in the internship with intensive coursework, this distinctive programme gives students the competitive edge they need in an era defined by rapidly changing information and communication technologies.
