Overview

The Media and Journalism Studies programme at University of Zambia provides orientations that will enable the graduate to be innovative and provide intelligent leadership in a rapidly changing society.

Key Facts

There are approximately 2,200 students in the School. Of these, about 42 per cent are females. In addition, the School caters for approximately 460 students who are registered for courses through Distance Education. Up to 2004 the School had awarded more than 2,766 degrees and about 250 diplomas.

Because the University is almost entirely residential and has had to take steps to increase the number of students in the natural sciences and technological fields by allocating them an enlarged number of hostel places, there has been some decrease in the number of students admitted to undergraduate programmes in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences.
