Courses

Media is one of the most sought after professional courses with good job opportunities in private, public and government sectors. However, products of media institute lack basic production skills and knowledge in niche areas which the media industry needs.

Conceived and run by people with considerable industry experience SIMS seeks to bridge this gap. It aims to equip media graduates with hands-on skills and specialized knowledge in niche areas.

SIMS prepares media students with technical skills and subject knowledge to make a lateral entry in various areas of media industry like print media, broadcast media, digital media, PR and advertising. We run short but highly specialized courses. 

Our courses are conducted both by experienced media faculty as well as subject experts. We train our students to write on complex topics for media audiences.  

For the benefit of course participants group discussions will be organized in the institute in Lucknow as well as the Summer Campus of the SIMS in Mukteshwar.

The teaching sessions will be offline as well as online, when possible simultaneously otherwise recorded.

The quasi research academic journal Media Map will be brought out with the help of course participants.
