To be the best in any profession, be it Law, Medicine, Mass Communication or Engineering, one must attend an institution where there are professionals and the required equipment based on the choice of his/her field of study.
Today, many parents whose children have passion for becoming media professionals sometimes get confused in the choice of the best institution where they will enroll their children to study their preferred courses.
In this article, I will highlight some reasons as to why the Federal University of Kashere, Gombe, is the perfect destination for the intending students who have the zeal of becoming media professionals in the future.
The fact that the department of Mass Communication is a baby department in the university, yet it was well equipped with all the necessary requirements needed. All modern tools that will make the study of Mass Communication possible have been provided since inception.
Mass Communication was introduced about four years ago in the university, yet the department has all that it takes to give students the best and much needed training which will qualify them to be the best in the field of media profession.
Mass Communication as we all know is a course which its main portion consists of practical aspects, and anything that has to do with practical needs some expensive gadgets to make it possible. As said earlier, the university has provided all the necessary tools students need.
Many universities in Nigeria who offer Mass Communication find it hard to acquire the necessary equipment from the inception just like FUK did. Here in FUK, the Mass Communication department has a functional radio station to its name with modern tools which makes it possible for students to practice broadcasting and other radio programs which many universities that offer Mass Communication are lacking.
Apart from the radio station, the department also has a television station equipped with all the tools needed for TV production, though it’s not yet functional but hoping to start anytime soon.
Below are reasons why you should choose to study Mass Communication in Kashere:
1. Experienced faculty members; Mass Communication department is blessed with the most vibrant lecturers who have excelled in the media sector globally. The renowned Prof. Umaru A Pate is part of the faculty members, imagine as a Mass Communication Student you are being lectured by Prof. Pate.
