REGULATIONS RELATING TO MA DEGREE COURSE IN MALAYALAM WITH MEDIA STUDIES -
(2013 ADMISSION)
The Academic council at its meeting held on 6th and 9th May 2014 approved the amendment to the Regulations
relating to MA Degree Course in Malayalam with Media Studies - (2013 admission).
Regulations relating to MA Degree Course in Malayalam with Media Studies - (2013 Admission)
Aims and Objectives
The growth of print and electronic media in Kerala is exponential in nature. The academic pursuit in Media studies is
also gaining momentum as the number of Journalism aspirants is increasing every year. Considering the industry demand
and academic importance of the subject, it is high time to set up a comprehensive Master’s programme in Malayalam with
Media Studies as complementary courses to meet professional and academic requirements, specifically relevant to Kerala.
Two papers (Media Studies and Contemporary Issues, and Studies on Visual Media) are designed as complementary
courses for the newly approved M.A. Malayalam degree course. The Master’s Programme in Malayalam with Journalism
and Mass Communication as complementary courses will facilitate higher studies for the students of FDP (Malayalam and
Mass Communication) at St. Xavier’s College, Thumba; an affiliated institution of Kerala University. Mar Ivanios College is
offering FDP in Journalism, Mass Communication and Video Production with creative writing in Malayalam as two
compulsory complementary courses and two optional courses. This course is offered by another private institution under
self-financing scheme. The newly designed M.A. Malayalam programme will give scope for higher studies for the students
of FDP (Journalism, Mass Communication and Video Production) as well.
The first paper (ML 233 - Media Studies and Contemporary Issues) introduces the themes, concepts and theories of
Mass Communication and moves on to familiarize the core principles of Journalism to PG level students. It further aims at
enabling the students to have a critical understanding on the recent developments in Malayalam Print Media. The second
paper (ML 242 - Studies on Visual Media) focuses on Visual Media with its theoretical and practical perspectives. It tries
to capture the concepts involved in different genres of Visual Media so as to provide sound background knowledge in
Visual Media studies to design and appreciate media content.
The proposed complementary courses may build a foundation for students to pursue Media Studies in their future
academic endeavours as well as media practice as the case may be. The practical aspects of Media Studies are carried out
through production of lab journals, expert classes, visits to media houses, assignments on real life situations, production
of news bulletins and programmes with the state of the art facility established at the institution. The thrust given to the
theoretical framework of Media Studies may help the students gain expertise in textual analysis and critical appreciation of
media content as the stream has tremendous potential in the area of Media and Communication research. As these two
courses cover important elements of Media Studies and Journalism, the students may directly approach any media institu-
tion in Kerala for placements. Further, the courses are specifically designed to help students who have majored in
Malayalam to acquire skills in print and electronic media in Malayalam.
Course Structure :
The Paper I (ML 233 - Media Studies and Contemporary Issues) will be covered in Semester III and Paper II (ML 242 -
Studies in Visual Media) will be covered in Semester IV. The allotment of marks for Paper I is in 75:25 pattern (75 marks for
University examination and 25 marks for internal assessment) and for Paper II is in 75:15:10 pattern (75 marks for University
examination, 15 marks for internal assessment and 10 marks for internship). 5 marks for attendance are included in the
internal assessment.
Internship :
The students are required to do internship in any reputed media organization for a period of three weeks including
holidays as part of Paper II, semester IV. Maximum 10 marks will be allotted in Paper II, after the successful completion of
internship.
