Testimonials

		Before joining the School of Media and Mass Communication (SMC) at BNU, I had no serious career plans in this field and just came with a wish to have a MA degree. After I joined I realized my potential and explored the talent I would not have known about if I had not joined the school. Upon getting my MA degree I launched my own TV channel named Koh-e-Noor I implemented the theories and techniques I was taught. Read More>>

		Excellent faculty, the promise for independent research and exposure were just some of the reasons why I chose to do my MS Public Policy from BNU. I confess BNU delivered on every promise; the faculty is committed and thrives on class discussions, the teaching methodology was never purely academic. I felt challenged in every lesson because I was expected and respected as an Economist from the first day. Read More>>
