Social and cultural journalism is an innovative educational project that has no analogues in Ukraine yet. The aim of the program is to formulate a holistic strategy for the use of journalism in actualizing socially significant aspects of culture. The program’s mission is to develop the cultural competence and communicative abilities of the future journalist as well as the ability to think critically, to solve complex social and humanitarian problems taking into account the specifics of the media environment.

Advertising and public relations in the socio-cultural sector is a new educational area in Ukraine. A cultural advertiser is not just an intermediary in the relationship between the developers and consumers of cultural products; moreover, he/she is an equal participant in the process of molding cultural values. In the process of study, emphasis is placed on the socio-cultural and psychological aspects of advertising technologies and public relations.

Studying Journalism, students have the opportunity to master modern information and communication technologies, methods of media analysis and communication management.

Career opportunities: journalist, reporter, advertiser, public relations specialist, editor, art director, image-maker.
