Radio and Television

Overview

The Faculty of Mass Communication was launched at the University of Petra in the first semester of Academic Year 2015-2016. It offers Bachelor's degrees in either Journalism or Radio and Television. It is the offspring of the Department of Journalism and Communication that was part of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences which has been one of the pillars of the university since its founding in 1991. Therefore, the newly launched Faculty comes on the scene armed with a long and remarkable track record being the first academic institution to offer media studies at a private Jordanian university.

Our Department of Radio and Television enjoys a prestigious status in Jordan and regionally, thanks to (1) its constantly updated study plan which aims at preparing our students for the labor markets, (2) its teaching staff whose members enjoy a wide variety of academic and professional expertise and (3) its educational training facilities which are recognized as of the best and most modern both locally and regionally.

We always seek in our Department to further expand our collaboration with a select group of local and international media institutions to provide our students with opportunities for practical training, as well as additional exposure to the market place.

Our Faculty is proud of many of its Alumni who are now outstanding practicing journalists whose knowledge had been enriched, and skills further developed, at our program leading to the prestigious posts they currently enjoy in the media industry.
