جامعة القاهرة (مصر)
Online & New Capital Campus
Undergraduate degree in multimedia news reporting, investigative journalism, podcasting, and digital broadcasting with Cairo University Faculty of Mass Communication. Students earn 2 independent accredited diplomas with a 65% / 35% international credit split. BA Digital Journalism & Mass Communication (Cairo University Dual Award) is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 36 months, and the credit total is 120. Students move from Methods in BA Digital Journalism & Mass Communication through Methods in BA Digital Journalism & Mass Communication; Cases in BA Digital Journalism & Mass Communication; Practice in BA Digital Journalism & Mass Communication; Project in BA Digital Journalism & Mass Communication; Methods in BA Digital Journalism & Mass Communication (BAX-D202), and finish on Methods in BA Digital Journalism & Mass Communication (BAX-D202). Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students justify a marketing decision with evidence rather than a slogan. Reading is a brief, a channel note, and a measurement plan. The artefact a marker expects is a campaign or content recommendation with audience, channel, and measure. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Dual Bachelor of Arts diplomas in Media & Journalism Practical training in digital news writing, mobile video editing, and data journalism Media ethics and freedom of information across Arab media landscapes Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.

| BAX-D101 | Methods in BA Digital Journalism & Mass Communication Methods in BA Digital Journalism & Mass Communication (BAX-D101) is a 20-credit course on BA Digital Journalism & Mass Communication (Cairo University Dual Award), with 200 notional learning hours. By the end, students can justify a marketing decision with evidence rather than a slogan, using Methods in BA Digital Journalism & Mass Communication as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a brief, a channel note, and a measurement plan. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a campaign or content recommendation with audience, channel, and measure. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone.
