“Here, student creativity is highly appreciated. We are given the freedom to express our ideas through various projects whether documentaries, social campaigns, or journalistic reports. But more importantly, we are encouraged to think critically about the content, impact, and ethics of communication,” said one of the students.
Laboratory Facilities that Support Innovative Learning

Student Activities as a Field for Creative Expression

These activities serve as outlets for expression and exploration while training students to think critically about current issues through a humanistic and solution-oriented communication approach.
Many students have proudly achieved recognition at both local and national levels in public speaking competitions, scientific writing contests, and digital content production.
Learning That Is Relevant to the Professional World
The Communication Studies Program also collaborates with various industry partners, including print and electronic media, PR agencies, government institutions, and NGOs. Through internship programs, students have the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world settings, expand their professional networks, and prepare themselves for future careers.
