SHAHEED ZULFIKAR ALI BHUTTO

“We will give science and technology requirements the highest priority and our attention. To implement any program of scientifi c and technological devel-opment, the country needs to train scientifi c man-power. In this, the schools, colleges and universities have to play their role. I desire that vast number of people of Pakistan should acquire technological skills. I want fi rst-class science in Pakistan because nothing less is acceptable. And I wish Pakistan to be increasingly self-reliant in all aspects of technology.”

SHAHEED MOHTARMA BENAZIR BHUTTO

“Technology and Communication have changed our world and are infl uencing a global culture. The ability to ‘Google’ information from anywhere in the world puts technology into the hands of even the most isolated rural communities in the developing world. The more people learn, the more they want to learn. The more they interact, the less likely they will be to fear the unknown. Just as democracy and educational exchange promote peace, the free fl ow of modern technology and communication promote peace.”

BS Media SciencesThe mission of the multidisciplinary undergraduate program in Media Sciences at SZABIST is to develop in students both theoretical as well as historical knowledge and technical skills crucial to the creation, evaluation and critical analysis of a wide range of media texts in both local and global contexts. The pro-gram’s three-track focus (Film / Television Production, Advertising & Journalism) will introduce students to the origins, history, theory, interpretation, production, and social effects of these three disciplines through a range of creative, practical, and analytical courses. We focus on how students can make and use media texts to understand and critique increasingly complex social, cultural and political relations in the world today. For the BS program in Media Sciences, the students are required to complete 43 courses (34 core courses, 9 electives in Film & Television Production, Advertising or Journalism), a 6 credit thesis and an internship. All students must complete 38 courses in total before enrollment in Thesis I. All students must complete their degree within 7 years.

Certain fi lm and video production courses may re-quire additional fees for equipment rental, fi lm pur-chases and travel. The Department of Media Sciences will make every effort to subsidize these costs in or-der to minimize their fi nancial impact on students.

Students enrolled full time are required to take at least Six courses each semester. Students unable to enroll full time should consult the Head of Campus and the Program Manager to discuss any accommodation they might need. All fi rst semester students are required to register for six courses.

INTERNSHIP The Department of Media Sciences requires all students to complete a six week internship at a media organiza-tion of their choice by the end of their third year.
