Since 2007, the Department has been conducting first- and second-cycle studies in journalism and social communication. Classes conducted by the employees of the Department are related to their research. In turn, the Department’s associates conduct practical courses in journalism and image communication. The Department’s employees conduct BA and MA seminars.
