About Us

Think for a moment of all that you might do today. You could go to Instagram or Twitter to see what your friends are up to or you'd probably check the latest news to keep up with world events, listen to the latest podcasts, track the progress of your favorite TV series, or even sneak a peek at the fortunes and misfortunes of a sports celebrity. You know you can find all that and more in mobile apps, social media platforms, newspapers, television, or by visiting a trusted website or blog. And if there's still some time in your day, you could check the trailers for a new film to see or if it is the weekend, take out the time to binge-watch some new series on OTT platforms, listen to old classics or find an interesting book to read. 

Now think of Media and Communication Studies at Savitribai Phule Pune University. We are proud to announce that some of our students are among the people behind each of the above content that you consume on a regular basis.

Nothing defines the human experience better than communication. The ability that each of us has, in fact, the need that each one of us has to convey our thoughts to others and to receive theirs. The Department of Media and Communication Studies teaches more than just the "how" of communicating. It also teaches the "what" to communicate. It remains as a center of creativity, of learning, of intellectual energy and, last but not least, of fun. 

We’ve been educating professional communicators since we offered the first-of-its-kind master's degree in 1990 at SPPU with specialized tracks of Production and Research in media and communication studies. Today, our alumni occupy the highest levels in a multitude of fields related to communication. We ensure the critical thinking and creative expression of the students nurturing cultural diversity in the programmes we offer. Of course, at the heart of this excellent work is an outstanding group of talented faculty, dedicated to achieving academic excellence with respect to Research, Teaching and Production.
