Department of Media and Communication Studies

Savitribai Phule Pune University was one of the first universities in India to recognize that academic training in Communication means much more than Mass Communication in general and Journalism in particular. Department of Media and Communication Studies at Savitribai Phule Pune University was established in July 1990 to serve this need. DMCS offers M.Phil. and Ph.D. Media and Communication Studies and M.Sc. Media and Communication Studies as a part of the Science faculty. DMCS has identified Media Production and Media Studies as its strength areas and over the years, the course has also incorporated emerging areas in the fields of mass communication, interpersonal and organizational communication.

This constant endeavour to tune in to the demands of the ever-changing media industry and maintain high academic standards has earned DMCS the reputation of offering one of the best courses in the field of Media and Communication Studies in the India.
