Communication Program at AUD

The School is oriented to fill the gaps that have historically marred the teaching of media in the Arab world. It strives to graduate students who integrate immediately and instinctively into the working environment of a wide range of Arab media institutions. For that purpose, we have set up programs to teach top-ranking students not only professional skills, but also to infuse their practical knowledge with civic values.

Bachelor of Communication and Information Studies

The Bachelor of Communication and Information Studies (B.C.I.S.) is unique to the American University in Dubai. Not only do we focus on the regional media industry in the large majority of our courses, we also expose our students to all aspects of the regional and international media, and its relationships with politics, globalization and popular culture.

The Bachelor of Communication and Information Studies (B.C.I.S.) at AUD is a 125 credit-hour, four-year program, accredited by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC).

The program consists of two majors: Digital Production and Storytelling (DPST) and Journalism (JOUR) both of which begin at the freshman level with fundamental concepts, theories and media ethics, before culminating in final projects and internships at reputable media firms in the UAE.
