3 Welcome Note Welcome to the Department of Communications 4 year BSc Degree Program in Digital Communications and Mass Media. We are a new Program that has evolved out of the previous degree in Communications at The University of Nicosia. Digital Communications is a relatively new field which has become all pervasive in our lives through the Internet, social media and mobile applications. The Mass Media in general remain important in our lives for seeking news, information and entertainment. Working in these different areas a couple of things remain more or less the same. The ability to communicate, to convey a message or meaning is crucial to every form of media. Additionally the power to create new ideas and media content out of nothing is equally important. A third dimension relates to being adequately equipped in terms of tools and equipment in these various communications processes. In all of these key dimensions our Department plays a key role in fostering and developing innovative communications skills with the latest hi end digital equipment and facilities. The new BSc degree focusses on strategic changes in digital media and communications and how these affect our daily lives. It is therefore definitive of the approach of our department that the courses offered stay connected with these changes with regard to youth culture, the Internet and social media as well as traditional media such as Radio, TV and Journalism. Students taking such a cutting edge degree will in a few years time be in stronger positions in terms of media skills, employability, creativity and innovation. Many of our graduates are employed in the media, in public relations and communications related fields and we are always proud of their achievements. Additionally many students progress to a Masters or even PhD qualification. Again in these kinds of choices, students that have a good grounding in the fields of digital communications and mass media at an undergraduate level will also be in better positions to excel in their post graduate studies. This is also a factor which makes our department unique as we are currently the only Department in Cyprus with this 3 tier studying system which is a testament to the quality of our courses, faculty and of course, students.
4 Aims The program aims to provide a broad education on Digital Communications and Mass Media by introducing and exploring a wide range of skills that will enable students to work and engage in the demanding and ever changing world of the media. Emphasis is placed on the changing nature and form of the Mass Media with respect to Digital Communications making students more aware of the specifics of context and future technological and socio economic challenges. Objectives Provide students with the technical expertise necessary for employment in radio, TV, Journalism and online work and media production units. Give students a wide research background so they can work in different research capacities related to media, marketing and communications. Provide a well organized theoretical background about the history and development of the media so students can work in media positions other than production in the market, or to pursue further academic studies. Career Prospects Studying provides our graduates with increased skills and capacities which overall make them more employable in the ever changing and challenging world of communications and mass media. Moreover, students of the Communications Department have the opportunity both while studying at the University of Nicosia and also after they graduate, to work full time with the various technologically up to date Media technologies used in the University of Nicosia. Access to Further Studies: Upon completion of the program, students have direct access to further studies; included is the admission to the MA program in Digital Media and Communications offered by the department. Who We Are The Communications Department, which was established in 1993, now leads the list of Departments in the School of Humanities, Social Sciences and Law, with over 250 students enrolled for all three degrees it offers. Faculty of the Department, as listed below, includes 10 fulltimers and 3 part timers, from both within the University ranks and from among Media professionals in Cyprus.

8 Academic Calendar: Different events are organized on different dates throughout the academic year, as announced at times. Aside from the academic information and apart from the activities organized by the Student Affairs Department, the Communications Department every year organizes different events and activities, like communications seminars, lectures, panel discussions etc., with distinguished professionals and authors both from Cyprus and abroad. The help, contribution and participation of students in these activities, is not only welcome, but is also necessary, as they can benefit from these extra curricular activities that extend their perspectives beyond the obligations of their academic goals. The Academic Path: The attached Academic Path indicates the courses that the student must complete. They are grouped under categories referred to as Requirements or Electives. A minimum and maximum number of credit hours necessary for graduation are stated.

16 Academic Issues REGULAR ACADEMIC ADMISSION/TRANSFER STUDENT Students may join the University of Nicosia on Regular Academic/Transfer Student Admission by submitting a credit evaluation application form to the Department of Academic Affairs, together with all supporting documents (i.e. official Transcripts, course descriptions, college catalogs, etc.) Students can gain Advanced standing by: Transferring credits earned at other accredited colleges/universities (only courses with a passing grade will be considered for transfer) Transferring credits on the basis of examinations of recognized examination bodies such as GCE/GCSE 'A' Level, CLEP, International Baccalaureate I.B., etc. The official credit evaluation report may be completed prior to the transfer, provided that the student submits all necessary documentation. Transfer students are required to complete at least 30 credits for the Bachelor Degree in the University of Nicosia. SPECIAL ACADEMIC ADMISSION This category of admission may be offered to students who possess a Secondary School Leaving Certificate but who do not have the stipulated grades or other requirements for regular admission. Such students may be eligible for special admission if they have relevant practical/personal experience, or other record of achievements, or show evidence of ability to benefit from university education. Special admission students may take regular credits but load limits will apply until the time they establish their eligibility for regular enrolment. Special admissions are offered to students with a low ability and with special needs, including dyslexia. The number of students to be admitted under this arrangement will not exceed 10% of the total number of students admitted in the Program. ADMISSION PERIODS The college calendar is arranged so that students may start in September, February or June. An English preparatory program commences in July. The Office of Admissions practices a rolling admissions policy and applications are closed when no space is available. The Summer session I (i.e. June) is only for continuing international/local students, new local students and local transient students. New international/local students may join Summer session II (i.e. July) for English Language courses only. Candidates are required to submit an application at least one month prior to the expected date of enrollment. International students should apply much earlier, at least two months earlier as 4 6 weeks are required for visa application and confirmation. Graduate applicants are advised toapply three months before enrollment.
17 REGISTRATION Registration is a standard procedure every semester. During registration, the pre registration of a student is finalized in view of the grades obtained and financial obligations are settled. All students must be properly registered for their courses at the designated registration period. Late registration is permitted under exceptional conditions but students registering late cannot be assured of space in the courses they are interested in taking. It is also possible that some courses may be cancelled as a result of low enrolment even prior to the end of late registration. When each student registers, a personal timetable is issued with information on the times of classes and the rooms in which they are to be held. Students are not permitted to register for courses, which are taught at the same time. Timetable changes are likely to occur during the first two weeks of classes. Such changes are publicized on the notice boards. GRADING AND PROMOTION OF STUDENTS The assessment of students for each course will consist of two parts: a) the continuing assessment (course work) and b) the final written examination grade. For practical courses mostly conducted in labs, there may be only course work assessment without a final written exam. The allocation of grades for each part will be fixed for each course and will be made known to the students. Students failing a course (i.e. failing to get the required pass mark) will receive an F as a final grade for the course and will have an opportunity to repeat the exam by the following September, in order to earn the credits attached to that particular course, by actual attendance. In exceptional cases, such as when the course is not offered during that particular semester or if the student is in his final year, he may be allowed to repeat a failed course by Independent Study. For this, permission from the Campus Director, on the recommendation of the programme director/coordinator is required. RECORDING OF GRADES Final grades, together with their two component parts, will be recorded on a special form and signed by the course lecturer and the program director/coordinator. These forms, duly signed, will be handed to the Academic Affairs Officer who will be responsible for their safe keeping for a period of at least five years. Grade contestations and grade revision will be carried out according to the established university procedure, described earlier in this Regulation.
18 ASSESSMENT At the beginning of each semester students should be given by faculty members a course outline containing: syllabus, attendance and grading policy. The recommended grading policy of the University of Nicosia is: 30 50% Final Exam 15 30% each Hour Tests 15 30% Term Paper or Projects 30 40% Mid Term 0 20% Homework 0 10% Field Trips 0 10% Class attendance & Participation The final exam may or may not be comprehensive but its weight should correspond to the material covered. Tests, mid terms and final examinations should be scheduled beforehand. Quizzes may or may not be announced as long as they form part of the faculty member s recommended grading policy. The final course grade at the end of the semester will be given as a letter grade as follows: Number Grade Letter Grade Grade Points A A B B B C C C D D D F 0.0 The above applies to all undergraduate programs
