Established in 1997, Manipal Institute of Communication has emerged as one of the premier communication, media and journalism institutes in the country with a strong international reputation. Our student strength has grown over the years. Starting with 20 students, today MIC has over 300 students on its roll.

It offers two-year post-graduate course (MA Communication), three-year graduate programme (Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Communication), one-year post-graduate diploma in Corporate Communication (PGDCC), a six-month certificate course in animation, Masters in Film Art and Film making,( a dual degree programme in collaboration with EICAR, France ), Diploma in Film Art.

The communication education covers journalism (print, radio, television and new media), film studies, public relations, advertising, corporate communication along with other related subjects. The students are taught the skills of communication and its philosophy. The courses are designed to make the students more articulate, skilled and thoughtful. In other words, at the end of their studies, they are tailor-made to move into the field of their choice with confidence.

The post-graduate programme introduces students to all streams of communication in the first two semesters and facilitates them to specialise later in print and new media or broadcasting or communication management (corporate communication, advertising etc) or film studies in the last two semesters. Along with these, students are also introduced to the basic aesthetics of all arts.

Our graduate programme focuses on media education with a fair understanding of other social sciences. We constantly renew our curriculum and infrastructure to meet the challenges of the changing times.
