Pioneering new-age education for tomorrow’s leaders
Open Open 14 Jun, 2024
In the heart of Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh, SRM University-AP is redefining education with a suite of new-age courses designed to prepare students for the future. Emphasising innovation, social responsibility, and sustainability, these courses are more than academic offerings—they are strategic tools to cultivate tomorrow’s leaders.
The Media Studies programme in SRM University-AP’s Easwari School of Liberal Arts (ESLA) leads this transformation with courses like ‘AI and New Media’, which explore the intersection of artificial Universityintelligence and media, and ‘Media and Popular Culture’, delving into the societal impact of media. Transitioning to more philosophical inquiries, ‘Media and Posthumanism’ challenges students to rethink human identity in the digital age.
Further, courses such as ‘Media and Resistance Movements’ and ‘Dynamics of Community Radio in India’ highlight the power of media in driving social change. Meanwhile, ‘Heritage, Art, and Media’ focuses on preserving cultural legacies through modern technology.
Addressing social justice, ‘Marginalities in the Mediatic Worlds’ critiques media representation of marginalized groups. Additionally, courses on ‘Algorithms and Digital Society’, ‘Internet and Social Network Analysis’, ‘Cyberspace and Internet Ethics’, and ‘Digital Capitalism and Inequalities of Society’ prepare students to navigate and analyse the complex digital landscape.
By offering these forward-thinking courses in Media Studies, SRM University-AP is not just educating students—it is sculpting leaders ready to innovate, advocate, and create in an ever-evolving global landscape.
