Browse Programs Admission InformationThe third-stage doctoral project for the 2017-2018 academic year is designed for students majoring in journalism at the Department of Da'wah and Media at Emir Abdelkader University of Islamic Sciences. It builds on the foundations of training pathways, starting with the bachelor's degree program, which was introduced in 2010-2011, and continuing on to the master's degree program. Three batches of master's degree students have graduated since the university opened its program in this field in 2013-2014. The project seeks to ensure continuous training that is consistent with the nature of the specialization. Therefore, we decided to present a doctoral project that is consistent with the master's degree program offered at the university and that is in line with cognitive, societal, and technological changes in the field of media and communication, in order to contribute to the provision of continuous and qualitative training.
Through this project, students can ensure continuous academic training in a field that represents an inevitable transition in the evolution of media from traditional to digital. Perhaps this new shift in the concept of journalism today and its impact on all fields has given rise to many issues that prompt project students to highlight in their dissertations and scientific and academic research.
