“We have almost concluded the unbundling of Mass Communication. At the end of the first quarter (of 2020), Mass Communication will not exist as a stand-alone degree programme because it is too broad.
“We are unbundling the programme into seven different programmes: Bachelors Degrees in Public Relations, Marketing Communications, Media studies, Film studies, Cinematography or photography, Strategic Communication, and so many others.”
