Message from theVice Chancellor

Liberal Arts

Originally, a liberal arts education was the body of knowledge considered essential to make a free human being. It included many areas of study, ranging from grammar and rhetoric to astronomy and arithmetic. Today, this international system of education asks students to study a variety of subjects, giving them the opportunity to absorb many areas of knowledge. In this modern world, exploration is essential. As societies become increasingly interconnected and businesses intermingle, understanding a wide range of topics helps us connect with each other.�e ability to think �exibly and draw on diverse streams of knowledge – to innovate rather than imitate – is vital to success in the growing knowledge economy. �e essence of liberal arts focuses on the breadth of knowledge as well

as the depth. It stresses communication skills and emphasizes critical analysis.Generally, liberal arts are taught using two methods. One is to establish a core curriculum. �e other is to provide students with optional courses that they may take in any program of study. ULAB combines these two methods. �e core curriculum ensures that all students have a common background to share ideas with, and build a foundation for, further education. At the same time, optional courses allow students to continue pursuing a wide base of knowledge, or to concentrate their studies in the form of a minor.�e liberal arts system gives students freedom and control over their lives by teaching them comprehensive skills and the ability to keep adapting to a fast-changing modern world.

RemarkableFeatures

Relevant to Industry

Interdisciplinary

Devoted to Culture & Communication Studies

�e curriculum is designed based on an analysis of demand and supply relating to the manpower requirements of the communication and media industry. From our studies, the department has developed courses in Digital Journalism, Digital Film and Television Production, Communication for Development and Public Relations. In addition, students are required to have internships in an organization to enable them to appreciate and experience the dynamics of working in a professional setting.

Communication is the heart of all social intercourse. Communication, at its very core, is interdisciplinary. Hence, the curriculum combines various �elds in the discipline and actively recruits faculty from di�erent academic training and traditions. �e result is a dynamic department that discusses and explores social phenomena from many angles.

A uniquely designed program to expose students to the study of various cultural aspects-visual art, religion, music, fashion, historical traditions, communities, social relations and con�icts, etc. It focuses on issues such as mass culture, popular culture, visual culture, globalization, gender, sexuality, media power, new communication technologies, normative, legal and ethical issues in media representation.

Professional Skills

Emphasizing on Film, Media, Creative ArtPublic Relations, Journalism & C4D

A number of courses designed with a focus on skill development. Most of these courses end with creative productions like �lm, photography, masks, installations or paintings. Apprenticeship and Outreach programs give the opportunity to increase students’ professional skills. Industry practitioners directly supervise these programs.

�e department has strategically decided to focus on certain �elds of Communication. �e faculty has specializations in �lm, media, creative art, public relations, journalism and C4D. �e facilities provide adequate support to enable teaching in these areas.
