Botswana’s Vision 2016 describes ‘a society with confidence in itself, pride in its achievements and possessing a sense of common and shared destiny’. The Media Studies programme at UB aspires to further this ideal by offering courses that allow students to explore, study, critique and produce media that will generate a sense of satisfaction and pride. We offer courses that are highly rewarding and academically stimulating. Students are expected to be intellectually adept and to have the ability to use the tools of the trade for modern journalism and media practice.
