Midlands State University (MSU) has highlighted its investment in state-of-the-art media training facilities as it intensifies recruitment for its August intake, with university officials saying the institution is committed to producing graduates equipped for the evolving global communications industry.
Speaking during an interview on programmes offered by the faculty ahead of the August intake, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Professor Tasiyana Javangwe, said the university continues to invest in modern infrastructure to ensure graduates remain competitive both locally and internationally.
"We have a media laboratory, a media studio and a broadcast studio. All these are complemented by the Midlands State University Radio Station where students can have hands-on experience. We are very much confident that we can produce world-class students who are ready for the global market," said Professor Javangwe.
Professor Javangwe said practical learning is central to the faculty's approach, with students receiving industry exposure during their Work-Related Learning placements while also gaining experience through the university's campus radio station.
He noted that integrating practical training with academic instruction enables graduates to transition smoothly into professional media environments.
Beyond the specialised studios, the faculty has embraced digital teaching methods by equipping lecture rooms with projectors and interactive smart boards that support blended and online learning.
Professor Javangwe encouraged prospective students seeking admission during the August intake to consider the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, saying it offers programmes designed to respond to the changing demands of the media, communication and creative industries.
He said the faculty remains committed to continuously upgrading its teaching infrastructure and curriculum to produce graduates with the knowledge, practical skills and professional competencies required by employers in Zimbabwe and beyond.
Applications for the August intake are currently underway, with the university inviting prospective students to apply for programmes offered across its faculties.
